Is extracting the soundtrack from a video game to play on a CD/MP3 player copyright infringement?

I'd like to have the GTA Vice City soundtrack from my video game, but I'm not sure how to get the .WAV or what ever proprietary file format the music is in onto my my computer. I am also not sure if that is stealing or not. When I buy a video game, am I buying all aspects of all information contained within it, or am I just buying the physical device (cd, cartridge, whatever) and the license to play the game? Or am I buying everything within including the music?

You own the entire Cd and can extract the files to your mp3 player legally. Copyright infringement means you cannot sell copies of GTA and they won't like mass free copies distributed either.

I'm going to have to answer yes on that one.. But MAYBE as long as its only for you and you give it to NOBODY, you'd be in the clear.
