Even for personal use, where you aren't sharing the extracted audio? I am pretty sure that would be allowed.

Arguably it could be fair use but strictly speaking it's copyright infringement.

It's generally not worth the copyright owner's resources to pursue something like that unless it's happening on a much larger scale.

Fair use is not infringement.
