How to Extract Music from iPhone & iPod Touch Apps/Games

[@jasonrhee9184]

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.

[@ExpldgN]

if you can still read this thanks for making this

[@Peccath]

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 :)

[@Silpher9]

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.

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.

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for! It took me 3 minutes.

[@poutsa11]

Thank you very much! This video was 110% helpful. THANK YOU

[@bewbtewb]

This works fine. Do you know how to get the music if the files are .xxx?

[@ricardorodriguezmorente3709]

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.

[@daschtheducc]

Thank you so much!!!

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.

[@drspa44]

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.

[@GutsmanShishou]

You are a f***ing life saver, thank you sir!

[@ozzernator]

ah yes i spoke to soon because about 30 mins later i figured out what i did wrong haha thanks :)

[@iTop100G]

Is there any cudiy apps that can do this then transfer to misic library to use in iMovie or video editor?

[@tetsuorocks]

Ahh.. I can finally listen to "Dalton The Awsome" soundtrack on PC. Game isn't very good at all but damn good music.

[@drspa44]

yes it does. it will work on any OS that can handle zip files.

[@drspa44]

@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.

[@hovetchov]

awesome!!!!! ty

[@LadySythe]

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?

[@XxRodnutzxX]

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 :(

[@Tom_North]

can this be done with windows 7?

[@bewbtewb]

I seem to only be able to access music but can never locate where sound effects and samples are stored. What am I missing?

[@mickomoo]

I can't find any audio files in my game folder....

[@neogeon]

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.

[@drspa44]

@iTop100G Maybe if it's jailbroken, you will be able to extract resources from installed apps. If not, there is no chance at all.

[@AndrejusDovidaitis]

Can you do requests?

[@LoyalmoonieProductions]

What if I don't have a Mobile Applications folder?

[@drspa44]

@portumadre Well I'm from south west London. Not sure if this counts as an accent region.

[@Yourbabystar]

when I change it to zip then open it it bring me to iTunes where the app is at

[@drspa44]

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.

[@eevee727]

how do i get the mobile applications folder?

[@drspa44]

cyan hijirikawa it should be created when you download apps through iTunes?

[@ShovelFighter12]

Windows link?

[@drspa44]

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.

[@chrisbaldinger1099]

drspa44 Can you please post an updated version???

[@drspa44]

The process hasn't changed in 6 years

[@Aron_Lee1]

Well, some apps don't seem to appear the same as how you depict it. There are no music files to be found. Is there another way to extract music from apps like that? Are you able to make a tutorial for that?

[@drspa44]

Axiom_ for games where the media files are packed, you might want to try panzi.github.io/mediaextract/ . is there one particular IPA you wanted to do?

[@Aron_Lee1]

By IPA, do you mean a certain app?

[@goron712]

Updated Tutorial?

[@drspa44]

I have not owned an iOS device for several years, but I expect the process to be the same.

[@goron712]

@@drspa44 It’s alright I have found another method. Thank you so much for responding though!

[@ExpldgN]

@@goron712 What is that method pls

[@goron712]
