Eh? Saturn Sound Format not "needed"?

Wiki link below.
"and as popular programs such as winamp and iTunes can import music from Sega Saturn CDs and save it in common sound formats, it is unlikely that a Sega Saturn Sound Format will even be needed."
Is this just talking about Redbook audio tracks, or is there something I'm missing here....?

Yeah, that's...kinda ridiculous.
It's as if whoever edited that article is working under the assumption that the Saturn, being a CD-based system, doesn't have sequenced music. Well, let's see... Radiant Silvergun? Shining Force 3? Shining the Holy Ark???Yep, that article needs an edit, and fast.

SSF does kinda exist, but I don't think Neill's done any work on it since he initially started fooling around with it. The author of that article seems to believe all non-CDDA tracks on Saturn are in the easily extracted XA format (note here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_music#Popular_sound_formats_by_system ).

Since Saturn was much more popular in Japan...
>SSF does kinda exist, but I don't think Neill's done any work on it since he initially started fooling around with it....someone needs to pick this up, translate existing information into Japanese and run with it into the Japanese scene for them to notice it. Maybe someone already did and we aren't aware of it?

Possibly. The Japanese emulation scene usually keeps to itself. If so they'd probably have to have done their own work from scratch though, because I don't think the source was ever released.

If so it would be Neill's loss then.
