I also agree, and I wondered if there was a soundtrack available, though I suppose not. There's one in particular I thought was very nice and it is before you even start the game. If you have ToB installed and when you have the choice to choose either SoA or ToB, if you just listen to that music before choosing....... it is so...... so pretty! Best word I can think of this early in the morning. [img]smile.gif[/img] <hr></blockquote>

If you get the Special edition baldurs gate 2 it comes with a sound track CD

You can extract the music from the game but you need these 2 programs

Near infinity which you can gey here:

And acm2wav.exe which you can get here:
http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte985m/files/acm2wav.exe

A tutorial on how to do it can be found here:

Althought that mushy romance music can happen at the wrong ttime, for example when you are in the MIDDLE of a fight. And I really think its to bad they didn`t make a soundtrack!

I've always had the music turned way down so that I can hear the ambient sound better (and to have music out in the wilderness reminds me of Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail with that knight that has minstrels etc... following him everywhere! hehe [img]smile.gif[/img] ) but you people have convinced me that the volume should go up again, thanx.

Roxi, I don't think there's a sound-track available but you can make it yourself with a bit of work. Firstly download acm2wav.exe...do a google search for it. Go into your BG2/music folder....there should be loads of subfolders and loads of .MUS file- one for each track. Go into the track folder you want and convert all the acm files in there to wav files. Then you need a wav editor such as CoolEdit to merge the wav files into one. Then you can burn the wav onto a CD or convert it to MP3. Also, if you download Infinity Sound Converter from teambg.com it does mass acm to wav conversion for you...although you still need acm2wav.exe.<hr></blockquote>

Thank you! I'm writing this down so I can do that. It doesn't seem too hard ~ ha-ha ~ and I should be able to eventually figure it out. [img]graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Daniel, thanks.... I might look into that particular addition. Or find someone who has it that doesn't want the soundtrack. Which just might be possible!!!!

I think the soundtrack was done superbly, it must have taken some time to compose the music so that it complements whats happening as well as it does in the game, it really helps to enhance the mood.

I think the best music has got to be the music from the ToB main menu..the way it goes from all violent to calm is really cool.
Also, i like the music from the de'Arnise keep
