Music from keygens?

Once in a while some keygen's have really nice music embedded into them. I was wondering if there is a way to extract the music to something like midi or other format? I've heard that many are from old video games.

paging coda to this thread.

I actually did this a while back for some keygens.  Generally, the keygens are compressed by some PE compactor.  Sometimes you're lucky can it's just UPX, sometimes it's some obscure PE compressor so you need something like PEiD (http://peid.has.it) to identify which compressor was used and try to track it down with Google.

Once you uncompress the keygen, open it up in a resource editor and dig around to find the music file (99% it's just a mod or xm file).  If you can't find it, try running the keygen and then alt-tabbing out of it and look at the current directory and your system temp directory for temporary files the keygen may have created.

If the music file isn't there either then you're out of luck as far as easy methods go.  At this point, I would just record the music through the soundcard output unless you really want to break out the debugger.
