This video will show you how to get music from your favourite iPhone and iPod Touch apps. A very simple process that can be done on Mac OS X and Windows. The instructions for Windows are the same, but the ‘Show Package Contents’ step is not necessary, as the .app should appear as a normal folder.
Can you do requests?
how do i get the mobile applications folder?
drspa44 Can you please post an updated version???
Windows link?
VERY VERY VERY usefull
Thank you very, very much. It worked perfectly for me. I run Mac OSX Lion, and used Zipeg to unzip and open all the mp3 contained inside the app. Thank you very much.
Just want to put a comment here and confirm that I've just performed exactly as the video instructed to get the files I've wanted.
Thank you!
I run a Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit, so I don't want to hear any W7 users complaining this doesn't work.
Any idea where or how to extract the music for Aralon HD on iPad? All I see is large resource files. I can't locate any music anywhere 🙁
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for! It took me 3 minutes.
I can't find any audio files in my game folder….
@iTop100G Maybe if it's jailbroken, you will be able to extract resources from installed apps. If not, there is no chance at all.
Iphone apps*
Is there any cudiy apps that can do this then transfer to misic library to use in iMovie or video editor?
awesome!!!!! ty
@portumadre Well I'm from south west London. Not sure if this counts as an accent region.
This works fine. Do you know how to get the music if the files are .xxx?
The instructions are exactly the same for the latest version of iTunes. It doesn't matter whether your iDevice is plugged in, but it would be best not to do this whilst syncing is in progress.
I will update the video if the method changes.
Uhm… My itunes is different then that you used in your video. Itunes 10.6.3.25. You're missing some information like is your ipod/iphone plugged in etc… I want to save some music but this video is a bit out dated. Is there a [updated] text tutorial or video to do this?
Thanks a million, dude! I don't have iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, but one application had sound files I wanted, so now I have them, thanks to you 🙂
Thank you very much! This video was 110% helpful.
THANK YOU
Do you know how to extract from large resource file? If yes, please share. For Win 7, if it is in your knowledge. Thanks in advance.
ah yes i spoke to soon because about 30 mins later i figured out what i did wrong haha thanks 🙂
yes it does. it will work on any OS that can handle zip files.
doesnt work for windows 7 :/
Not all game resources are organised in the same way. Just search through the folders for sound files. If there seems to be a single large resources file then extracting any music will be more difficult.
Thanks the heavens for this video!!
Little apple story 🙂
I wanted to buy an audiobook that I like to hear very much. But the author decided to offer it as an IOS 5 App. So I thought no problem I've got an Ipod touch laying around here somewhere. Wrong! (After trying to recover my Itunes-ID which took hours and I ended up making a new one.) My Ipod was to old to play a simple audiobook 🙂 IOS 5 not supported. So with this video I extracted the audiobook and planted it on my 30 euro MP3 player.
You have not changed the file extension properly. If you are using Windows, this is a more complicated affair and I advise you to google how to change a file extension. Or you can open it directly in WinRAR, Winzip or 7zip.
when I change it to zip then open it it bring me to iTunes where the app is at
It varies between applications. Often, assets are stored in a single binary file, so you won't be able to extract them this easily.
If it is a music-making application, they may be software generated.
I seem to only be able to access music but can never locate where sound effects and samples are stored. What am I missing?
I came here for Cytus..
You are a f***ing life saver, thank you sir!
@wiiplayer9revisited Then you don't have any apps stored on your computer. It should be in your itunes folder, which is found in your music directory in your home folder. If you are on Windows, you can do a search for *.ipa and that may help.
What if I don't have a Mobile Applications folder?
Ahh.. I can finally listen to "Dalton The Awsome" soundtrack on PC. Game isn't very good at all but damn good music.
can this be done with windows 7?
lol@ Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Season 5 on your desktop
I love this trick since lots of iphone games have great original music that you can't get anywhere else, and hey, I paid for it!
As an added tip, Mac users should download "Switch" to convert .wav, .m4a, etc. to mp3.
