Great soundtrack :-) But why buy the seven soundtrack CDs? Use this little program to decode
the music files from the GTA:VC DVD (note: requires the PS2 version):
- Copy the files from the GTA DVD (directory AUDIO) into a directory on your hard drive - the radio stations
are the larger .VB files (90MB or more)
- Save the Decode program to the same directory
(right-click and select Save Target As ...)
- To decode each .VB file into a 32 kHz .WAV file, use the Decode program from the command line:
- Open a command-line window
- CD to the directory containing the .VB files
- Convert each VB file with the Decode program like this:
decode vrock
The 32kHz .WAV files can be played using WinAmp or Windows Media Player
Use another program (e.g. CoolEdit) to convert the .WAV files to 44.1kHz if you wish to burn CDs
You can create .WAV files directly from a DVD using a command line like this:
decode E:\AUDIO\VROCK.VB C:\ViceCityRadio\VROCK.WAV
The files POLICE.VB, KCHAT.VB and VCPR.VB are recorded at 16kHz. Use this command line to set the correct speed in the .WAV file:
decode -r 16000 KCHAT
The program also works for the music from Grand Theft Auto 3! In this case, CHAT.VB is recorded at 16kHz and the rest at 32kHz.
There is also source code if you want it.
Enjoy!
