:
I've been sticking my old PS1 games into a CD player and finding the music tracks accessible. I don't have my Oddworld discs with me right now, but I assume that doesn't work with them?
Lots of old games (PC too) did that, but it only works when the music is occasional and extended (i.e. the whole track plays from start to finish), because it takes a certain amount of time for CDs to cue up their location. A side effect of this process is that when data (e.g. a new location) is loaded from the disk, the music stops. The Abe games had music that switches quickly depending on the action on the screen, so it would not have been possible to use this process.
