I'm looking for the Adam Smith's Wonder cinematic music;
Would a kind soul help me and tell me what it is exactly? I dunno the author and can't seem to find a clue on the web. Thanks for your help!!

Sorry... I turned off the sound a long time ago. But I'm sure somebody will be able to answer your question

This thread at CivFanatics should give enough info...

The Adam Smith's wonder music apparently is The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba by Handel.

assuming you have windows X, you can go
start, find (or search), files or folders, and tell it to search the drive letter the CD is in.
or you could go through the open/browse folder following the correct path

for me, the path is e:\Civ2\VIDEO\WONDER17.AVI
thats the same for MGE and for 2.42 CDs

War4ever · January 29, 2003, 17:14

Thanks SCG i found it now, i can alter it and add some other songs to it

Six Thousand Year Old Man · January 31, 2003, 20:35

Yes, even I got rid of my Xmas porno-spam avatars a long time ago!

War4ever · January 31, 2003, 20:44

someone tell me how to rip the damm cd tracks from the cd please !!

ColdWizard · January 31, 2003, 21:03

....

Mercator · February 1, 2003, 07:25

Are you trying to rip the entire CD? Track 1 is a data track, so that might be giving the problems.

I'd say he just wants to rip the tracks he wants

War4ever · February 2, 2003, 17:31

yeah, i want to rip only a few of the tracks....some of them really annoy me

Static Universe · February 5, 2003, 20:41

Not sure if your question has been answered, but

You can use this utility to convert the avi to mpeg-1 format.

http://www.tmpgenc.net/e_main.html

You can use the following utility to convert the mpeg-1 to mp3 (that is, lose the video).

http://www.dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm

Both are free and run about 1.5 MB.

Copy the avi's from the CD to your hard drive, run the conversions, then delete everything except the mp3's.

Edit: I lost my Civ disk last year, so I hav not tested it. It should work. To save time, download the first utility and try it. If it work, download the second.

War4ever · February 5, 2003, 23:44

thanks for the help, i will let you know if it works

Mercator · February 8, 2003, 14:25

Static23: That rips the music from the videos, but not from the CD audio tracks, which war4ever is after.
And for the thing you're suggesting, I know a program that can do all of what you mentioned, and is half as big as either of them at that: http://www.virtualdub.org

VirtualDub can't rip tracks from CD's though, which dbPoweramp does seem to be capable of (w4e?)...

Sorry if I read the situation wrong. CDex is a program which can rip the audio tracks off a CD into mp3 format. Perhaps this will be more helpful?

War4ever · February 12, 2003, 22:37

ok, i can seem to figure out which program is better for me....CDEX i can't seem to make work. either that or i have no clue what i am trying to rip?

i want to rip the mongol horde war drums that play when you have the music turned on, and perhaps a few other tracks...

but they dont' seem to come up as tracks, and they are not digital?

i am getting headaches...
