Any way to save CoH music files?

This may be a dumb question - I'm not very computer savvy, but is there a way to find and save any of the music files used in CoH?

Last night I logged in to a character I had parked in the ski chalet, and that cheesy Bavarian Christmas music instantly brought me back to my very earliest experience in CoH during the 2007-08 Holiday event.

I know that I'd get a lot of nostalgic enjoyment out of listening to that, the Atlas Park intro music, various clips from Steel Canyon and Boomtown, among others. Heck, even DJ Zero's jams will bring back fond memories.

So how about it - is there an easy way for me to find and save these music files before it's too late?

Thanks!

I think you can find most of it on the Music page at ParagonWiki.

These are .ogg files so you would need a player capable of handling that file type or a program that can convert .ogg files to .mp3 or .wav or your favorite format. Audacity will handle converting .ogg files to .mp3 and .wav but I haven't tried other formats. I know that VLC Media Player will play the .ogg files.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Thanks guys, this truely made my day! At least now I will always feel like I still have a little piece of the game that has given me such pleasure these last five years.

Now I gotta look into that tool I read about that will allow me to to save some of my characters...
