The Dig music player

I once had discovered a small dos utility that allowed me to play the soundtrack of the Dig from the original Game Cd like a normal music cd. I deleted it for some reason and tried to find it again now after about five years without success.

Does someone know where I can find this utility or a similar one?

Could it be the utility was a simple, regular CD player? I recall original CDs like The Dig and Monkey Island 1 & 2 CD having the music in tracks, on the CD, so thet could be played on an ordinary CD-reader.

Don't play track one though. lol.

Actually not.
The Dig had a bundled music and voice file.
It's called DIGMUSIC.BUN

But I just found the solution.
This application rips the tracks from the bun file:

Just copy the BUN file into the applications directory and launch it.
You get 83 WAV files.

Oh, ok. Thanks for the info, and glad you found it. I must have been thinking of some other game.

Ah, yes - LOOM, maybe.

No, I think you mean "Labyrinth".
Lucas already used CD tracks for Midi Music, before compact discs were on the market.

Thaks for this man! 'The Dig' contains some of my favourite music ever!

Rui 'Trovatore' Pires · Fri 02/05/2008 20:24:56

Never played Labyrinth, I do believe I mean some version of Loom.

How can someone use CD tracks before CDs are on the market?

Loom came with a Cassette, or tracks on the CD depending which one you got. It had some sort of Audio drama on it.

Why not just download the full soundtrack from:

I didn't know that this exists.
Thank you.

Grim Fandango and The Dig are worth the Download.
I don't like the sampled versions of the midi soundtracks so much.

Now that I have listened to the Dig soundtrack again after about ten years,
I recognize how cheap this was made. It's all played on a synthesizer
and mixed up with string chords from Wagner operas.

It was one of my favorite soundtracks when I was about eighteen
and I even had made a tape of it. Time really changes your brain...
