Ripping Game Music From ISO/ROMs

Recommended Posts

I remember back in the day when I actually had a PS1 and discovered that if you just stuck the game disc in a cd player that certain games would play just the tracks on the game. Recently I got to wondering about if it were possible to somehow pull just the original game music from the .iso files or the roms. I noticed with the PS1 .iso files that some, when extracted, have files labeled Track1, Track2, etc but obviously cannot be opened with a media player/music player. If anyone knows of any ideas or alternatives thanks in advance! Smile

It is easier and more difficult then you probably realize. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_rip_%28audio%29#Digital_extraction https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:VG_music_sound_formats But honestly I just grab what I can from sites: http://www.vgmusic.com/ http://gh.ffshrine.org/ These aren't the only two out there, there are a lot. I also use YouTube. For FLAC quality I usually look elsewhere...

The best tool to use for this is something called CUETools. It's the same software that you use to rip regular audio CDs. It's not the easiest to use, but it gives you the most accurate representation of the audio on the CD. I'm kind of an audiophile...I rip all my CDs to FLAC and always verify that they're 100% accurate. It's kind of an obsession.
