Is there a way I can extract the Max Payne music?

i really like some of the music in max payne and would like to kno if there is a way i could extract the music and save it in a format which can be opened by windows media player or something.

Yes, you can extract the music. Use RAS Maker that comes with the game to extract the wav files from the correct RAS file.

I want to get the music out but I can't get the RAS Maker to work, I can't load it in MS Dos Prompt for some reason, any suggestions? I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or what. Someone give me instructions.

Open up the command prompt and then type:

cd "c:\program files\max payne"
path %path%;"c:\program files\max-fx tools\rasmaker"
rasmaker -x x_music.ras

After that you'll have the music files available in "c:\program files\max payne\data\database\music\wavs" folder. The above example presumes you installed the game and the tools to their default folders. change the paths if needed.

Hopefully this helps.

My RASMaker and files are in the right directories but when I run RAS Maker from the Command Prompt properly it'll show the RAS Maker menu and then will go back to the "C:\Program Files\" (etc. etc.) line.

When you run RAS Maker from the dos prompt, you need to add the commands. It should look like this:

rasmaker -x x_music.ras

That will extract the wav files from the ras file. Unless you have that ras file in a different directory, then you'll either have to move it to the same directory or do what Sami said.
