Is there a way to rip the music from a [glb]playstation 2 [/glb]game??

THANKS!!If I'm right, putting a PS2 CD into a COMPUTER will damage the CD somehow...... Just find out what the name of the song is, and download it from the internet...

[glb]Flame[/glb]No Flame, it's the other way around: sometimes the data track on the CD will damage the speakers. If you insert a Dreamcast GD-ROM into a regular CD-ROM and you'll get a rather lovely woman saying so...

How it normally works is this. Since you can't normally combine data and audio on the one CD, it has to be seperated somehow, and the usual way of doing this (and this simplest, come to think of it) is to put all the data on the first track, and then the audio after it on subsequent tracks.

So as long as you skip the first track, you should be able to rip the tracks like a regular CD. Bear in mind this only works with certain games - it all DEPENDS on how they were coded.In FACT, I found this nice definition on searchstorage.techtarget.com

E-CD format is designed to overcome the problems of mixed-mode CDs, which also consisted of SEPARATE tracks for audio and other data. Mixed-mode discs were often responsible for speaker damage: when a CD player tried to read the data tracks, the result was loud static. Because E-CD data and audio tracks are written in separate sessions, the data track(s) can be made invisible to the CD player, so that only the audio tracks are played.
