I need to be able to extract a track from an already mixed file.
(i need to take out the music of a song, but keep the lyrics)
stuff like that
what is a program that will do that?
i don't care if you have to pay for it, i need a name

No audio software will do what you want.
Audacity is the best free software available.
Lyric remover... Analogx.com has a DirectX plugin that'll do it, which does exactly what the other guy said. It doesn't cancel it out completely. You can hear a very dim echo of it in the background, and music sounds very... muted, but the music is still there.
EDIT: The other guy means Sony's SoundForge. ACID is for making music.

Audacity.
Can't remove tracks and stuff with it though. That's pretty difficult to do. All the tracks are mixed together as one when they're put on a CD.
The only way to do this (and this removes lyrics, not keeps them so won't work for you probably), is to take either the left or right audio track in a stereo song and invert it 180 degrees out of phase. The vocals are usually dead center in the stereo image so the vocals get canceled out if you flop one channel 180 degrees and make it a mono track.

Audacity is free and open source.
If you're willing to pay, there is Adobe Soundbooth, Adobe Audition and Sony's Acid.
Go to: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
