So there's this awful old FPS called ZPC, only notable for having art by Brute, and a crazy guy rang up the devs and went on a long rant threatening them, so they put this recording in the game as announcements over a PA system.
I'd like to listen to the isolated tracks, but someone on Youtube uploaded the music by itself, and said that all the music and sound effects are in a compressed file and it took some time to change the music from chipmunk squawking.
The game itself is here, at least the "image" of the CD. And that's where my cyberpunk abilities end.
Can anyone pull the rant tracks out and make them listenable?

Sorry, it'd help if I included the link.

used this file specifically https://archive.org/details/ZPCUSA as a baseline
don't have the time right now because the tool is very clunky. but acetoneiso on linux or poweriso can extract the bin/cue you have. zpc/music.mus seems to contain one single music track playable with vgmstream if you care about that, zpc/sound.snd probably contains the rest being a marathon 2 snd2 file which can be extracted with https://github.com/treellama/shapefusion/releases, but only one sound at a time with no bulk export option. ideally you could either modify the source which is a pain in the ass since the build tool seems busted, or write an autohotkey macro or similar to traverse the ui for you and dump all the many variants of each file. but both of those take time so i leave it up to you to grab the files you're looking for manually instead. goodluckgoodluck

Thanks, it's an old old game and it was kind of broken when it came out...
