There's a file on the disc/iso called "sounds.pak," I'm assuming this has all the music in it cause it's nearly 1GB in size. Problem is no program I've found has been able to open it. Anyone have any ideas? Really wish there was a psf2 rip of this, unfortunately I'm not smart enough to do that myself.

the game used streamed audio, so it can't be ripped as a PSF2.

as for the .pak, you have to extract the data using a tool. I'm not 100% sure what tool, but maybe this (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dragonunpacker/) would work?

Already tried it and it didn't work. If it's streamed, then shouldn't it be in .ogg format or something?

no (although some PC games were).

there are many different stream file formats for the PS2, but since they're compressed within the .pak file, I can't tell you which one it's using (although it doesn't matter really, since VGMstream can play basically all of them)
i'm not so knowledgeable on data extraction within archives, but if anybody would know, it would be the members over at hcs64.com (http://hcs64.com/mboard/forumlong.php).
