Ok firstly, sorry if this has been mentioned before (I know how to get the soundtrack has been mentioned before).
What you need: An iRiver H120 or H140 or H320 or H340, A Ps2, Tv, Copy of Fusion, Stereo, Line-in cable (the line-in cable comes with all irivers and looks like a double-ended headphone jack). Using all this I managed to record 5 songs at good quality, with no fuzz :).
Step by step guide:
1. Startup Ps2 with Fusion in, connect the red+white scart cables into the back of the stereo sockets. Connect the yellow cable to the TV.
2.Connect the line-in cable into the headphone socket of the stereo.
3.Connect the other end to the socket on the iriver marked "Optical Line IN".
4.Hold the record button and get to the recording function on the player. Change the settings so that bitrate is at least 192kbps, and type to "mp3" and turn all the bass off (ie use SRS settings).
5.Turn stereo on, dont put bass setting on or volume over half, then go into a race on Fusion. Once there, hit select to find a song to record. Hit the record button on the iriver to start recording; timing can be tricky but if you keep switching tracks until the iriver timer starts, you wont miss any of the song.
6.Connect some headphones to the player to check on the recording- quality will sound abysmal but it is much much better once finished.
7.Play the game (make sure weapons sounds are set to off), with the headphones in your ears. Once the song is finished (usually after the race has, so stay in the menus or make races have more laps) hit the stop button on the iriver.
8.Disconnect line-in cable, and listen. Totally legal, No computer, no (real) fuss, and no hacking open the disc. Plus the songs will be in mp3 format.
Sorry if someone has mentioned this method before, but I thought it worth bringing up since I havent heard of anyone else doing this. If you want sample of the finished product, PM me. I've just put them onto my computer and my brother's ipod, and they sound immaculate, as if ripped from a CD :D
