I figured this out with KotOR 1.

1: Download dbPowerAmp Music Converter. Free, nice program.
2: Take the music files and copy them to a new location (best that you not mess up the game files).
3: files are named .wav. Change the extension to .mp3.
4: Convert the file from an MP3 to a Wav file using the dbPowerAmp.
5: Enjoy.

I actually turned off the music as I played. Easier to pick out sound effects that way. I used this technique to isolate HK-47 lines, which are among the best in any video game I've played.

I used to host the KotOR-soundtrack on my site (LucasArts Soundtracks), but LucasArts asked me to take down all Indy- and SW-stuff. I am planning though to readd the CD-covers along with ripping instructions (as far as possible).

Hm looks like that program (dbPowerAmp Music Converter) only exists for Windows, Mac user myself.

There's no chance someone could put it up on Myspleen or someother site?
By the way, i own both games!

I must say, I would love to have a rip of the KotOR2-soundtrack from the X-Box. Regarding KotOR1, the X-Box version had the soundtrack at 192kb/s (the PC version only at 128). The PC-version of KotOR2's soundtrack now only comes as 32KHz and MONO!! (I bet the X-Box version has higher sound quality, as it did with the "Emperor's Tomb" soundtrack).

As far as I can tell from starkiller's comment, dbPowerAmp is an unnecessary step, it is only used to convert the MP3s to WAV, which will only increase the file size and maybe make it compatible with a few more programs (which isn't a problem on Macs anyway as any program that would accept WAV would also accept MP3).

Yeah, but i put in my Original XBOX KOTOR and KOTOR 2 in my Mac and it says it's only like 13 Mb Big?!

Tried to rip it with 0Sex but the program also stated that the only thing that waas on it was sort of an XBOX startup screen (wich i've never seen before though).

So i'm at a loss on how to get the soundtracks of my games.

Well, dbPowerAmp and OSEx wont help you at all then as neither program is designed for what you are trying to do!

I wouldn't have a clue how to rip soundtracks from Xbox games, you'd probably need to obtain a dashboard hack patch and install it, run a crossover cable from the Xbox to your Mac, then stream all the data to your HD, and sort out the .xma, .grt, and .nda files. Well, that was the only info I found via Google, I don't even have an Xbox!

The easier alternative would be to just hook up the Xbox's audio out to the Mac and then record it the ol' fashioned way.

You mean this ISN'T the thread to discuss who has the best scores on KOTOR?

I wish it was as easy as it is for Playstation 2 games.
