what maali said. really. iirc winamp will actually scan the file until it finds the mp3 signature, and play from there. doing it as gargaj said with an hex editor shouldn't take more than 5 minutes neither.

I've written such a tool a few years ago, maybe you find it useful: http://keyj.emphy.de/files/fextract.zip. It tries to extract MP3, Ogg, QuickTime, RIFF, PNG and JPEG file from any binary blob you give it. That doesn't work with all demos (in particular not with Fairlight's), but I used it successfully to get hold of a few soundtracks in the past.
And as the others already said: If that doesn't work, use kkapture.

Fairlight demos have a zip bolted at the end of the EXE, just press ctrl-pgdn in TCMD :P

iq: afaik winamp doesnt. but some codecs were a bit more forgiving with what crap you feed them :)
Cool Edit Pro can do this, although you may get some interesting noise before & after

Cheers guys :)

On Linux (ffmpeg is also on Windows i think, great tool btw):
ffmpeg -i VIDEO_NAME.AVI -f mp3 AUDIO_FILE.mp3

What's it with people and their obsession of re-compressing music that was already embedded in a lossy compressed format? Better ask the author of the tune instead of doing that.
IIRC but wasn't it you, Saga Musix, who asked me the very same question on IRC some years ago ?
I suggested to dump the process memory (e.g. pmdump.exe ) and 5-10 minutes later you said that it worked :-)

but yeah, contacting the author is surely the first thing anyone should try.

xyz: I'm talking about the people suggesting to extract the soundtrack from a video capture, not about extracting it from the data file / process memory. And no, I can't remember ever having extracted music from process memory (except in WinUAE with ProWizard, of course).
Saga Musix: maybe it was not you but someone else in #bitfellas. I just thought I'd mention the process memory tool because the thread starter might find it useful.
