How do I Extract a PS2 Game Soundtrack?

Along with stellar gameplay and graphics, a great soundtrack can make a video game incredibly enjoyable by fully immersing the user in a complete atmosphere. Many PlayStation 2 (PS2) games feature wonderful soundtracks that may leave gamers wanting to acquire the music to listen to long after they are finished playing the game. Fortunately, the ADXUtil application allows you to import game soundtracks into your computer.
