I think you can buy it from the Interplay store, i am not sure how one extracts the music from the game, i am not sure there is a way :(

Just checked, one can buy the soundtrack from the interplay online store.

@Dollar short, i have to agree, i love the end music, it really ends the game really well :) I finished it once just ot hear htat music again, i did d/l it once from fileplanet on mp3 but the file was corrupted. The next time i tried it was encoded at suc ha low rate it didn't sound right :(

You can download the program "Game Audio Player", which plays the sounds of many games, including all BGs, Diablo, Planescape, etc.

Just extract the file, run it, and do a FILE -> SCAN DIRETORY (or SCAN FILE).

You can even convert the files to wav format, and with another program, to mp3!!!

This program is at [url="http://www.3ddownloads.com/?directory=/forge/teambg/TeamBG_Files/non-teambg/"]http://www.3ddownloads.com/?directory=/forge/teambg/TeamBG_Files/non-teambg/[/url]

ok, i d/l the program and it seems to run .acm files fine, but it doesn't run .mus files and thats what we want here, the .mus file. any1 else having the same problem or is it just me?

I got the whole soundtrack with a program called acm2wav. If you do a search you should find it. I don't have it installed to check, but I remember there being two of each music file, one of them .acm and the other .mus (or whatever). Just look through the music dir until you find the acm's, then use the program. The only downside is that you don't know which file has which song, and you'll often find yourself with a bunch of attack sounds and spell effects. If you are patient enough, you'll get the stuff you want. I liked that end song too, and Dionarra's (sp?) theme as well. Hope this helps.

ok guys, these programs work really well and Ramuh21 was rite, for every .mus file, there is an .acm file. so u can rip every song from the game. BUT, ive listened to almost EVERY song and i cant find the song played during the credits. remember, its that cryptic music with a heavy egyptian guitar rythm. any1 know where this file is? it can't just appear out of no where!
