Sony's sound/music format?

Does anyone know of a program that can read Sony's ADS audio format? I found a slew of 'em on the Toyota Prologue DVD, to include most of the game sounds and all of the music. But I don't have anything that can read it. Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
I've got a whole load of PS2 tools and I think one of them reads the media files.

Is that after you've extracted the GT4.vol?

I was thinking about this on the weekend (as you do) but I never bothered to getting around to it.

Convert

I've never used it, but it looks like it is exactly what you need. And it's free.

I don't see any ADF support.

This is one of the tools I can remember the name of that looked like it might be usefull.

It does AFS, which is a common game format started on the Dreamcast. Hey, i'm pretty sure AFS was a simmilar format to ADF back in the days when I was rippin dreamcast tracks.
 
I tried that Convert thing just now, it doesn't recognize the format, says " no files to convert", and ADS isn't listed as one of the supported formats.

MistaY, sounds like you might have the ticket in PS2 tools.. is that a small thing that's emailable, by any chance? At least the audio portion, don't really need the rest of it.

And yes, I used the "extractor" from the RipKit, used for modding the GT4 files to unlock the tracks, etc. I don't have a DVD burner, or a modded PS2, so those changes don't do me any good, but the extractor did work on the US Toyota Demo disc, which is where I found the audio files (which is why I extracted it in the first place, looking for nice full-quality versions of the soundtrack).

Oh, I'm an idiot. I was looking at SDS and mistaking it with ADS. I must have ADD.

I shouldn't help people at 3 AM anymore.

Ha.

Bah, helping people at any time is overrated.

I would look at the bunch of PS2 utillities I had, but they are located twenty miles away in my house.
 
I found one that seems to do the trick.. MFAudio can read the ADS files and convert them to WAV.

Now I can go back to GT3 and get that elusive all-English version of "99 Red Balloons".. hehe.
