Extract an instrument from a SID

Can I extract an instrument from a SID to be able to use it in my own SIDs? If I can, may you say me how?
Thanks.

Sit down with an editor and learn how to make the sounds. Far better than ripping. Most players have their own formats for sounds so no simple solution. There are some analysing tools like one coded by Syllinor (?) of Faces. Something like Music Wizard 3 or something.

The SID-format is not a fileformat where the data is stored in any specific 'standart' way. Data is not stored in the same way in all SID-files.

Why?

B'coz a SID-file is just a *normal C64 music-file* with a little header.

As you probably know, a "normal C64 musicfile" is just a little program that can play music. That little program can look just like the coder wants it to look, so it's hard (maybe impossible?) to find a way to ripp instruments, that would work on all SID-files (but it would be easy to make one that just worked on a few SID-files with the same C64-code, but i guess that would be useless...)

...hmm, it would be possible to make a ripper that could recognize some different players (<- those programs to play music), and then rip the sounds. Has that been done?
