Strictly speaking, it is illegal under the DMCA to write/talk about how
you could extract audio from a protected source.

The "easy" way to do it is to play the multi-track music into a
multi-track PCM sound device, say a M-Audio Delta 1010, recording each
channel's analog output. While there clearly can be some degradation, if
you record it at 24/96 there won't be much.

Which is good, since its illegal to even talk about ripping the music.
