Although you hold a license to use the software, you do not have a license to use the songs however you wish. You'll need to either buy the album or become a Sid Meier's pirate.

You'll have to forgive Nik. I don't think he feels complete unless he chews people out on a regular basis. I don't think he even cares when he's blatantly wrong or hypocritical...

Well, he purchased a license to use the game media (which he does when he actually plays the game). I could be wrong, but I think this encompasses the music of the game, as well.

I don't, no. That's because I'm only blatantly wrong or hypocritical when... well, come to think of it, I never am.

Anyway, I'm going to go flame some more dumbass noobs now.

Kthnxbye.

Reading the license agreement, you'll see that it says not to "reverse engineer" the game in any way. You can't legally decode the installation media or the game files on your PC to pull the soundtrack out.

all the download links seem to go to the nem's tools site, which won't let me download anything, it seems you need a login (?) and there appears to be no way to create a new account...grr
 
i finally was able to download it, thx! i think i found the audio files, they have a .cache suffix filename. how can i convert these to a wav or mp3 file?
 
i can play the soundtrack music in Garry's Mod v7... is there some kind of audio recorder i can use? (besides putting a freakin tape recorder next to the speakers =p)
