maybe someone remembers this:
there used to be a way to "hack" the tutorial portion of the game to load any zone u wanted. I remember using it to take a peek into Plane of Fear back in the day. The zone would load, ofcourse devoid of mobs, and you were able to run around. I am pretty sure that the music worked fine when you loaded it that way.
This might be a way to actually get the files to play without "logging" in to the game, and it would work with the old client, without using an Emulator.
So if you actually find a way to playback the correct files on P1999, above solution would provide with a way to actually enter the zones and playback the midi files to record them.
I did a small google search on it and i couldnt find it yet, but ill keep looking
edit: it was called EQ Zone Viewer
edit2: here a reference to it on the eqemu forums, unfortunately the Download Link is broken but maybe you can contact the guy who started the topic, he seems to have a copy of the executable.
