The practice of obtaining the sound component from short-form videos hosted on a popular social media platform represents a specific form of content extraction. An example of this is acquiring the music or spoken audio track from a TikTok video for separate use.
This action allows for various applications, ranging from creating custom ringtones and sound effects to utilizing the audio within original content on different platforms. Historically, users sought methods to isolate and repurpose audio elements for personal projects or remixes.
