Driver Madness

As far I remember, when you played your game cd in a cd player, the music files started to play in city order. Unfortunately I was to young back then to even think of making a copy, and now the cd is just lost
So I was wondering, has anyone managed to do a bitperfect copy of the tracks in the game? All i have found around the net are crappy mp3 files. What I'm talking about is actually extracting the uncompressed audio files directly from the cd. I would love to have those around. Quality must be awesome.
If someone has the cd around, can you give it a try, I'll be glad to guide trough the process Thanks!

Well isnt .wav fine? Albeit much bigger in size I ripped the tracks from my CD using Windows Media Player to .wav. I need to check where I have them.

oh man that's exactly what I'm talking about! You could actually use a program like EAC or Cue Tools to rip them to flac (it's usually 1/3 the size and quality is exactly the same) but wavs can do just fine
If you could upload them somewhere I could encode them to flac and up them here for you all to enjoy

I'd totally try that if I had a copy with the music.

yeah from what I read there are lots of copies around without the music layer. That's a real bummer
There's got to be someone around here with the complete version just lying in the dust though. It's the biggest Driver community I could find =)

RacingFreak I think I found the post you are talking about.
The link is obviously down, but maybe seeing it can help you remember where you could have stored those wavs
That manual artwork ripping idea btw is totally genius! I'm trying that as soon as I get home from an iso of the disk I've got from the net (no music there though )

Ha! That brings in some memories

Luckily my account for adrive is still active, so I can simply get a shared link:

(it's going to expire soon aswell. I will make mirror in meantime)

Cheers, drive on!

BTW, with the help of max.thunder1 and other fellas, we also figured that these songs were taken from KPM Series discs and thus know the real authors of them.

Cool! Where can I access that info?? I might as well take a look and tag them

Found THEM

For a second I thought this topic was going to be some nitwit asking for the music in 24/96.
