The following command will find all mp4 files that are in the current directory and in all sub-folders and extract the audio to mp3 format.
find . -type f -iname "*.mp4" -exec bash -c 'FILE="$1"; ffmpeg -i "${FILE}" -vn -y "${FILE%.mp4}.mp3";' _ '{}' \;
The filename of the audio file will be the same as the mp4 video with the correct extension. The mp4 extension will be removed and replaced by the mp3 extension e.g hi.mp4 will become hi.mp3
