To be honest i was slightly disappointed with the official MASS EFFECT OST, as many of you might know it lacked quite a few of the tracks heard in-game, including tracks like Matriarch Benezia's battle, the awesome music played while in Saren's labs and the music played while battling Geth before finding Liara.

Anyways I have managed to rip every single track straight from the game files :)

MASS EFFECT GAMERIP (http://rapidshare.com/files/132585305/Mass_Effect_rip_ogg.rar)

P.S. The tracks are all in OGG audio format so a codec may be required for windows media player, try looking here (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/ogg.htm) or here (http://www.xiph.org/dshow/)

If you are having trouble finding a certain track, please feel free to ask.

EDIT: I have finally found the music tracks from Flux Nightclub and Cora's Den and are now included in my main rip, alternatively they can be downloaded separately here:

ENJOY :)

Some of the tracks are fine but the rest are just static noise. Any ideas?

Do you have the right codecs installed, so your player can play ogg?
If not try installing this (http://www.xiph.org/dshow/)

So this rip has all the game's music tracks right? I have already downloaded the ost from the previous earlier mass effect ost thread. So is it possible for you to provide all the new tracks not included in the original ost as a seperate download for people like me. Thank you very much if you could.

Or, you know, you could just download it and delete the repeated tracks.

Pretty simple.

A sound idea.

But in response to the question by katie price, many of the ost tracks are just game tracks mixed together.
So i would suggest to either not use ost at all or go with urutapu's idea.

I personally when through the tracks and selected the ones i liked that were not in the ost, and dumped them into my ost playlist.

I'm having the same problem as "dkj" (post No. 14), and I've already installed the necessary codecs. Some of the files are fine but majority of the music files are just static sounds.

EDIT: Scratch that! after converting the files to mp3 format it works perfectly. Thanks for the rip Ledgend!

Some sections are combined and it is looped with proper fadeouts, and it has track numbers to but the original filenames are still intact and it is tagged properly. its still the same ogg.

even with the codec i still get most of the tracks as static noise.

dont get me wrong, im totally grateful for the post, but why ogg? why not mp3? i cant even put these on my ipod on the drive home. :(

is it just me? what the benefit over mp3 that's ogg?

I'm sorry to hear about your problem.

The tracks when extracted are in OGG, so far i've had trouble trying to convert them to MP3 as all the converters i use seem to reject the Mass Effect oggs but not others.

Maybe OrangeC's rip will be more successful for you :)

Yeah it's the PC version, i used a program called Psychonauts Explorer (http://quick.mixnmojo.com/files/PsychonautsExplorer1.3.zip) to extract the music from the .isb archives, "music_bank.isb", "music_bunker.isb", "music_knossos.isb" and "music_unc.isb" which are located at "C:\Games\Mass Effect\BioGame\CookedPC\Packages\ISACT"

Here you will find everything you need Mass Effect 1 to 3 - A Complete Collection (MediaFire) (MP3 & FLAC) (Thread 110789). Everything from the gamerip is in the Mass Effect - Expanded Score with 74 Tracks ;)
