   Audacity should work but it depends on how you set it up..
   At the top right of the program is a drop down list to select the recording source.
   To record sound from the drive select (depending on your sound card) "stereo mix" or "what you hear".
   Click the record button then start the music from the game.
   To prevent distortion the recording level might need to be reduced with the control to the left of the input selection list.

   If you’re using Vista and the input list is grayed out try this:

   Using the Control Panel to select/enable recording devices

   The quickest way to access the Control Panel is to right-click over the speaker icon in the System Tray > Recording Devices. Or click Start > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound (if you’re using "Classic View" there’s a direct link to "Sound" in the Control Panel), then click on the "Recording" tab.
   Simply click to select the input device you want to use. Then make sure its input volume is turned up. To do this, click the Properties button bottom right, then the Levels tab, move the volume slider to right, and click OK.

   I use XP so I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this.
