is there a way to rip songs off of a game

Toblerone Man · 01-06-2007, 06:16 PM

Screamer 2 has some of the best techno I've ever heard on it. I own the CD and am wondering if there's a way to rip the songs so that I can listen to them outside the game? lemme no

I don'tt know if you can quite do that. But I know some game manufacturers have promotional sites where you can download mp3s for title songs as well as screenshots, wallpapers, and a few other things like video clips and screen savers. Those are in addition to the demos. Run a search for game sites under that title. Usually there is some free stuff available.

The game probably installed the music on your hard drive. Check the folder that it's installed in, see if you can find any folders related to music. It may be in the data folder

Yes look around your install folders... I doubt you will find anything though. I'm not even sure if this is legal

. I'm guessing it is not.

You would have to extract the sound from copyrighted materials there. This is why it is better to go to the sites provided by the game manufacturers for the free stuff available. The links here will show what is available for downloads.

I know Flatout 2 has a great sound track, but it doesnt store any of the songs ont he drive that you can get to. It's stored in a large data file.

The sounds as well as music heard in games is not generally ever seen in mp3 format. rather they are tracks meshed along with video in game's design. If the track is at the opening when first starting a game it will usually play repeatedly if you don't go into a menu or start a level. That's when you can kick back and simply listen without. Other then that we can't help you there.

It varies from game to game.... For example, I know you can play the songs from Oblivion, not sure if you can rip them, but there somewhere on the disc/files/computer.........

If you search around a little, I've found some of the music from FlatOut 2 for very reasonable prices. I have Yellowcard - Breathing on my stereo and MP3 player

If the music is a data file, just rename it to .mp3 and you can play it in windows media player.
