Some games are able to be dumped as 'soundtracks'. This means that the music will be dumped as though it were a soundtrack cd, with better filenames and tracknames, tags in the dumped music and (optionally) album art.

Dumping as a soundtrack is optional and not available for every game. If its available then a messagebox will ask you if you want to dump the music as a soundtrack.

Soundtrack support is activated by creating an .ini file and putting it in the 'Soundtracks' folder. At the moment only OGG files are supported for soundtracks, although support for MP3 and WAV files could be added if requested.

The format is fairly straightforward and you can get an idea from looking at the included soundtracks but the following is a brief guide to the structure of a soundtrack ini file.

Each ini must have an [Info Header] section that will look something like this:

[Info Header]  Title=Launch of the Screaming Narwhal  UniqueFile1=town-glass  UniqueFile2=desinge-weird  UniqueFile3=restore-winds  Album=Tales Of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal  Artist=Michael Land  Year=2009  Genre=Game  Coverart=Tales Of Monkey Island- Launch of the Screaming Narwhal.jpg

UniqueFile 1, 2 and 3 are used to automatically identify the game that the ini corresponds to. These 3 entries should be filenames that are unique and only appear together in that game.

Album, artist, year and genre are used to create the audio tags in the dumped files. Coverart is optional but should refer to the name of a coverart image in the 'Soundtracks' folder.

The rest of the entries will look something like this:

[main-theme-short]  TrackNo=04  Title=Monkey Island Theme

The text between [] should be the original filename of the track.

If there are tracks that need to be merged then they need to look like this:

[jungle]  TrackNo=16  Title=Flotsam Jungle  File1=jungle-doro  File2=jungle-voodoo  File3=jungle-merfolk  File4=jungle-wind1  File5=jungle-wind2  File6=jungle-wind3  File7=jungle-machine  File8=jungle-machine-wind1  File9=jungle-machine-wind2  File10=jungle-machine-wind3

The "File" entries are the original filenames of the tracks that need to be merged. So this example would merge the "jungle" track with the other 10 jungle files listed to make one track called "Flotsam Jungle".

Certain characters arent allowed in Windows filenames (/\:*?"|) so these are removed from filenames when dumping. They are included in the ID3/comment tags though.

There are two exceptions to this:

The forward slash character/

If this is used then it becomes- in filenames.EgTitle=Guybrush/Elaine Theme would becomeGuybrush-Elaine Theme.ogg

The colon character:

If this is used then it becomes- in filenames.EgTitle=Chapter One : The Start would becomeChapter One - The Start.ogg

Originally each episode of a game stored its resources in separate folders. However more recent games store the resources for all episodes in the same folder. All games from The Wolf Among Us onwards do this. If you manually choose the game folder by clicking 'open folder' then the program cant know which episode you want.To fix this either choose the specific episode from the menu or chooseopen file and select the individual file that you want to extract the music from.

The tool only rips music. If you want to rip speech then download Telltale Speech Extractor from mywebsite.

Soundtrack files: At the moment only OGG files are supported for the soundtracks feature, although support for MP3 and WAV files could be added if requested.
