Does anyone know where to get the music from the games? Are they wav file that are hidden away? I know that I would be interested in purchasing they from say, BG, BGII, ToB, IWD.

They aren't .wav files, they are .acm. Extremist have posted a link to an "acm2wav-converter" somewhere. Do a search.

Is Extremist a website? www.extremist.com? (http://www.extremist.com?) I did a search and came up with converters for WAV to MP3 files. Can you send me a link?

Should be has. Extremist is a person. :D
Some soundtracks are available for buying at Interplay's web store (only IWD and HoW I think). The Acm2Wav converter can be found at http://www.sorcerers.net/Games/BG/index_misc.htm

And I thought it was idiot proof... :rolleyes:

Which part don't you understand, for God's sake?

Enter DOS prompt. Copy the acm2wav.exe to the same dir where you have the music file (*.acm). Then just type acm2wav filename.acm. Output will be a big wav file. What you do with that is your problem.

Me - a website? :toofar::grin:

Anyway, the link I've posted was wav2acm converter for those who want to imbue their own music in the game and wav2wav converter for those who want to listen WAVC files in normal Media Player.
Acm2wav converter is present on SP for ages.

If anyone is interested in those, go see here: http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/Forum3/HTML/000254.html

What a lame thing... Noone ever heard of Planescape:Torment I guess...
