I've searched high and low for an application that will extract a MP3 or module file from a PC executable file. I find lots of old ones, but nothing to match the times. What does everyone use for this purpose nowadays?

Christ, I did not mean to exhibit such anger-insipirin' words. How am I supposed to get this stuff on my MP3 player? Or is everyone in the scene too pissed about this subject to release one publically?

If I can't get the module or mp3 (or ogg) from the creators, and it's not a separate file, I usually do it the brute-force way and record the system mixer output. It's ugly but it works. Sort of. And I always forget to mute the microphone input too...

And of course the next step is dropping that .wav file into oggdrop and getting a nice shiny ogg file out.
I'm guessing you would want an mp3 encoder though.

If there's anything more elegant out there I'd love to know

well, I bet you won't hear the difference between getting the original to getting it through waverecord..

i can recommend demodulate, you may find some of the stuff there.

apart from that, multiripper rules :)

especially if you use spdif

as long as the demo uses a soundplayer-dll, like bass and fmod, there is no problem to just make a proxy-dll that just copies all the data ;)

kusma will you have sex with me

I can't see any problem with ripping demo tracks, so long as you're not doing it so you can use it in your own prods. But i'd advise against copying the audio data from the sound card + re-encoding it, you'll lose a lot of quality.

"so long as you're not doing it so you can use it in your own prods"

... and releasing a demo with a music that sounds awfully familiar to fr08 wouldn't make much sense, now would it? :)

unless you want to spoof it :)

But for 64k's it's not a big deal to capture through spdif (no compressed audio). worked like a charm here ;)

i love you too, ile :)

speaking of demodulate, i just added a few good tunes, enjoy. :)

there also is a tool called "Total Recorder" :)

I had the same problem a couple weeks ago.. i wanted to get the music from fr-e.t. demo... and couldn't find any tool for that... it turned out "upx -d" and ultraedit was good enough ;] anyway hooking bass or fmod would be a much nicer approach... makes one actually think of coding something for this...
