As of this writing we have a version shipping which takes advantage of  
NeXTSTEP 3.0's Mac file system handling. It supports "flat" sound files  
such as those produced with MacRecorder and it also extracts 'snd'  
resources from any Mac file. It creates a separate NeXT .snd file for each  
'snd' resource found in a given file. It will also work with MacBinary  
files directly downloaded from online services in both of the  
above-mentioned formats. It automatically determines the file type from  
its contents, regardless of extension.

As far as I know we have the only package which handles all these formats  
(.aiff coming soon!), and the only product that reads the Mac resource  
fork under NeXTSTEP 3.0.

It has been tested with System 6 and System 7 sounds files.
