On windows, this can be done by using Firefox with the Flash Video add-on to capture the MP4, then Switch Sound File Converter (free) to extract the MP3. (thanks Donald)

On linux, you can just use ffmpeg:

sudo aptitude install ffmpeg mplayer libavcodec-extra-52
ffmpeg -i "Goldberg Variations.mp4" -ab 128k -ar 44100 Goldberg_Variations.mp3

Anyone know what the date of this recording was?
