    Ok, what exactly are you talking about?

    How did you "make" files on a Playstation 2? I don't think you can do that unless you have a Debug Playstation or Net Yurosa (versions 2 respectively).

    If you want to transfer songs from games (like music from a Final Fantasy game for example) to your computer, you can do this if you have the appropriate equipment.

    Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it), PS2 uses the S-video standard, not RCA. There are various adapters that will alow you to convert signals. If you go from your PS2 out using its S-video connection, you can record audio on to your PC if you have a capture card of some kind - that either has S-video, or, if you convert the signal using a source medium like a VCR or adapter, you could go in through RCA or Coax.

    S-video offers better quality than RCA, but most TVs and stereo equipment more than a few years old don't come with a connection for it (they are Coax/RFU/RJB)

    You could manually record your music to your PC using a microphone and simply placing it near your TV speakers, however the audio playback quality will likely not be as good as recording it directly.

    Please excuse me if I've made some spelling errors or are not making much sense in this post, I have a bad headache at the moment.

    Ok

    1) It is a game that allows you to make music tracks on the PS2...(and damn good ones if i might add)

    2) i have a ti4600...so i am pretty sure it has a S-video slot since it came with some S-Video cable.

    I need specific instructions in order it for to work. The right cables and accessories. Thank you for your help.

    Get a TV wonder card with s-video input and record the music playing from your Piece-of-Shi/eer I mean: PS2 onto your computer... in fact you could play on your PS2 through your computer screen

    If you have a 4600, it has to be a video capture version. These are usually referred to as VIVO (which stands for video in/video out). High quality vendors like Leadtek and Gainward make VIVO cards.

    If you have this you'll have no problem doing it

    Just look on your driver disc for the capture proggie, or you can download the latest version from your vendor's website.

    No, VIVO has RCA too. But no Coax, you'd need a TV tuner card.
