For anyone wanting the music of Icewind Dale, there is an easy way to get it.

Simply locate the .acm files in the MUSIC directory of the Icewind Dale directory on your hard disk and use a program like ACM2WAV to convert them to .wav format.

You can then easily burn them to audio CD or convert them to MP3.

I have done this with the Baldurs Gate music and the Icewind Dale music and my mp3's sound great!

Unfortunately I cannot remember where I found the ACM2WAV program, but with a bit of looking around with some search engines Im sure you will find it. Its command line based but very easy to use IIRC.

Hope this helps somebody!
Cheers,
kroma.

Edit - Found it: http://www.students.cs.uu.nl/people/cjwlaan/acm2wav.exe
I am running Win XP and I need to run command prompt first and then type the path to the exe file itself, just double clicking the acm2wav.exe file doesnt work for me. When its run, it will tell you how to use it but I am here to answer any questions if people get stuck with it.
