Hi all,
I have read this forum and already download WAV converter but I don't understand how can I extract sound (BGM) from the installation directory ?
In first, my English is not perfect and I'm not to understand all I have read.
If I resume, I found in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable III\data\audio" folder, all soundtrack file in a bnk.dat format
When I rename it in ".wav" and I run with "Fable3_WAV_convert.bat" I can hear some part of music, but not correctly.

I would like to know if I need to change file before convert it or another thing I don't understand to do ?

Thank you in advance !

first you need to extract *.bnk files form streaming.bnk audio folder
then you can extract bnk files in audio folder

Hi, thank you for the answer.
I'm not sure to really understand.

With BNKBrowser, I open "..\Fable III\data\streaming.bnk"
I see an audio subfolder and 7 bnk.dat files.
If I extract, for example, music_region.bnk.dat, I have a new file with .bnk.dat extension.
if I use "Fable3_WAV_convert.bat" on this file, file is not convert.

I suppose I need to edit or transform .bnk.dat before ?

thank you

EDIT : yes !! If I rename my bnk.dat in .wav, and I convert it, I can hear music !!
thank you very much for your works !!!!!!!

EDIT2 : Do you know If we can extract all music files ?
I don't find lot of music...

ooppss!
I have modifed my streaming.bnk and can't remember where these files were originally
try others .bnk files in data folder (probably audio_lod.bnk)
so, you must extract all files from .bnk audio folder and merge it with audio folder on disk
after, you must unpack .bnk files from audio folder
as a result you get .wav files
and them you must convert with "Fable3_WAV_convert.bat"

Hello everyone,i'm new here and i have recently been interested in extracting Fable 3's music soundtrack
especially because i wanted that non-OST music that plays in some dungeons and it was in Fable 2 too,
After long efforts and a strong headcache,i've finally found a way.
With BNKbrowser i have extracted Music_Region.bnk.dat from Streaming.bnk,then i have opened Levels.bnk and extracted the Music_region.bnk
Now,i have opened Music_Region.bnk and i have extracted a dozen wav files
the names are as following

brightwood.wav (Mistpeak Valley theme and also Oakfield's\Brightwood's theme in Fable 2)
bowerstone_industrial.wav (Bowerstone industrial theme)
bowerstone_market.wav (Bowerstone Market theme)
"c07 lh full mix 1 gain changes.wav "
"c14 shadelight_02.wav" (Shadelight theme)
"c15 vioandaccordon.wav" (appears to be the initial theme when you play as prince)
"c18 orchestra mix 3.wav" (Brightwall village theme)
"c23 choir mix 2.wav" (Ossuary theme)
Castle_regionmusic.wav (Bowerstone Castle music)
cavesgeneric01.wav (One of themes from Fable 2 that played in some dungeons)
demondoorelectronic_01.wav (Unknown)
demondoorharp_01.wav (Unknown)
demondoornasty.wav (Unknown)
driftwood.wav (Driftwood music)
enterrenegadecamp_01.wav (Music when you are in the proximity of the renegade camp)
escapecavehall_01.wav (Unknown)
ghosttown_01.wav (Sunset house exterior? Wink

gui_room_01.wav (sanctuary music 2)
gui_room_02.wav (Sanctuary music)
hobbecave_nobeats.wav (Hobbe cave music)
millfields_01.wav (Millfields music,slightly altered music of "Bower lake" from Fable 2)
