VGSC can convert .str, .aax, and .adx files. I used VGSC to convert the sound files from Bayonetta, which use the .aax format.

Also, I just stumbled upon this program here: http://filetrip.net/nds-downloads/utilit...22876.html

It can extract all of the files from those pesky .sdat packages that are included in most NDS games. I've already tried it on three games (Super Mario 64 DS, Full Metal Alchemist: Dual Sympathy, and Tomodachi Collection), and it worked great for all of them.

Added to the list!

I forgot about the fact that Tinke is also really helpful regarding .sdat file as well.

.hca - CRI's High Compression Audio format, also known as ADX2. I'm sure it's in other games as well, but I noticed it in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 and Phantasy Star Online.
.xfbin - Common model format for PS3 and XBOX games. It can also contain encrypted sound files.

Unfortunately, there are no decoders for either of these formats, but there is one player called CRIAtomPlayer.exe. It's a command line tool that plays simple HCA files. As for .xfbin, I believe you can open them with Noesis Model Viewer.

Could a mod please sticky this thread? Both so it can be seen by new users but also so that people remember to update it.

Mind elaborating on what that is, exactly? Like the system? Maybe a converter? I'd appreciate it.

Folklore uses .SGD_ as audio archives and .SGX as audio containers. It's really dumb and weird.
Also, Klonoa 2 uses .SS2 as music and dialogue packages.

[Puterboy1]

Sound files for Lego games use .CBX extensions.
