I once had discovered a small dos utility that allowed me to play the soundtrack of the Dig from the original Game Cd like a normal music cd. I deleted it for some reason and tried to find it again now after about five years without success.
Does someone know where I can find this utility or a similar one?
Could it be the utility was a simple, regular CD player? I recall original CDs like The Dig and Monkey Island 1 & 2 CD having the music in tracks, on the CD, so thet could be played on an ordinary CD-reader.
Don't play track one though. lol.
Actually not.
The Dig had a bundled music and voice file.
It's called DIGMUSIC.BUN
But I just found the solution.
This application rips the tracks from the bun file:

Just copy the BUN file into the applications directory and launch it.
You get 83 WAV files.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the info, and glad you found it. I must have been thinking of some other game.
Ah, yes - LOOM, maybe.

No, I think you mean "Labyrinth".
Lucas already used CD tracks for Midi Music, before compact discs were on the market.
:D Thaks for this man! 'The Dig' contains some of my favourite music ever!
Never played Labyrinth, I do believe I mean some version of Loom.
How can someone use CD tracks before CDs are on the market? ???
Loom came with a Cassette, or tracks on the CD depending which one you got. It had some sort of Audio drama on it.
Why not just download the full soundtrack from:
http://soundtracks.mixnmojo.com/dig.htm? :-\
I didn't know that this exists.
Thank you.
Grim Fandango and The Dig are worth the Download.
I don't like the sampled versions of the midi soundtracks so much.
Now that I have listened to the Dig soundtrack again after about ten years,
I recognize how cheap this was made. It's all played on a synthesizer
and mixed up with string chords from Wagner operas.
It was one of my favorite soundtracks when I was about eighteen
and I even had made a tape of it. Time really changes your brain...
