I've been dabbling a little with old AKAI S-series sample CDs (there's plenty to be found online in places like archive.org for example). Mainly with a couple of free and open-source tools I recently found: akaiutil and abrowse.
akaiutil can export the entire disc to a tar archive containing the program files and related sample data in either the original format or wav. abrowse will also convert the program files to xml. Though when previewing the extracted samples I noticed an audible click at the end of all the wavs from abrowse. Not sure of the cause.
It got me wondering if you would be interested in adding support for this format (the original programs and samples extracted from the disc)? I assume most or all of what you would need to know about the format will be documented by these two tools. There's also the older akaitools which is still in development.
