I guess I am still asking the wrong question.

How do I create a sound file that can be uploaded to youtube. They don't accept mp3, but do accept mp4 and several other video formats

I feel I am a total dunce at this.

To my knowledge you can't upload a pure sound file to YouTube, it has to have some video content, even just a single black frame repeated over and over.

On your page you'll find an Upload icon in the upper right...eventually.

Perhaps think about that converter program now.

Mp4 is an AV container. You'll need some sort of video content, even just a still frame. Using H.264 or H.265 codec, or VP9 codec.

YouTube accepts two audio formats that I know of, mpeg 1 layer 3, aka mp3, and AAC.

Bitrate should be no less than 192 kilobits.

I would use ffmpeg to assemble the mp4 container, not sure if there's any graphical way to do it short of Adobe Premiere.
