Does anyone know how to extract music from RED ALERT?

Doesn't look like you looked very hard.

Though, unlike the remaster soundtrack, the original game OST is far from complete, due to the old 70 minute audio CD limit.


As for extracting it, the most commonly used tool for that is XCC Mixer, from the XCC Utilities pack. The music are a bunch of .aud files inside scores.mix, which is inside main.mix. Note that in this release, there's four main.mix files, one for each CD the game came with. The expansions actually have different music, so you'll need to dig into all of those.

XCC Mixer can convert the files to .wav, which you should be able to play in normal media players. To convert it, you right click on the files and select "copy as wav -> pcm" and they end up in the location chosen in the second pane.

Here you see how the function is used to convert the game's sprites to png files:

Whoa... I didn't even know they made CD album of it! Thank you and thank you. Fallout (1997) music album now, please ;)

Sorry, I only specialise in C&C games.

The remastered soundtracks, which include all original music too, are available on Spotify and Apple Music, and were also included in the physical boxes of the remaster.

All info about the C&C soundtracks can be found here:

Fallout Classic and Fallout 2 Classic on GOG include the soundtrack, but due to some license shenanigans those aren't available anymore, except to the people who bought them before they were taken off the store. Don't think the Steam versions include that soundtrack

No worries. I'm glad we still have this beautiful music in games/ Thank you and have a great day/

That's one music track, not the entire soundtrack. RA has a lot more (and better) music than just Hell March

Also, that wasn't the question.
