Is it appropriate to ask for one soundtrack rip from a game here?

I'm not an all day everyday GBAtemp user here.
Like the title says. There's this one game called Shaolin vs Wutang for the Switch, (it doesn't have any soundtracks uploaded on youtube because it's that type of game) and it's the one soundtrack that I love. I know it's not videogame music but it's probably soundtrack from really old kung fu movies...I'm not entirely sure, but does it really matter?

So yeah, is it appropriate to ask to capture music from certain games here on this website?

As above copyright concerns make things tricky here.

That said questions on how to rip it from something you already have is a different matter entirely.

Most Nintendo consoles since... arguably the GBA have used a fairly standard sound format for their respective systems an the Switch is no exception in this. Sometimes devs do their own thing (no idea if they will have here -- tends to be for seriously custom work, games ported from other systems lazily and early games when the formats have not had the kinks worked out/shipped to devs while in development).
When devs do their own thing it is also often some kind of known format as well -- making a complete format is hard, probably troubles patents and so forth.

To that end if you pull it apart what do you see?
