System sounds in Sys6

[gfuller]

Random question: Is there any way to play System sound files that work in System 7 in System 6? I've converted some AIFF files to System Sound-format files that work in System 7, but obviously I have no way to open it in System 6. Are there any sound applications compatible with System 6 that may be able to play these sounds?

I've been using SoundApp 68k to convert 8-bit AIFF files exported from Audacity to System Sound files, which open flawlessly (even longer files over 3 minutes long!) on my Classic and PowerBook 165 running System 7. However, I'd like to see if I can get them to work on my "SuperSE," which is a SE with a Mobius 030 accelerator. The accelerator will not run System 7 in my experience, so I'm stuck at System 6.0.5 on it. (Although I think some people have got the Mobius cards to work with System 7.0, not sure anything newer though.)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't tried it, but it looks like the app Now Hear This might be able to open System 7 sound files in System 6. https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/now-hear

Tried 7th Symphony and works like a charm! I did have to adjust the memory size (to 4000K, with 16MB installed on the SuperSE) for each application. Seems like I manually have to open the files using the .movr app.

Kind of a necropost, but the old SoundMaster control panel works for this. Another utility not mentioned is the SoundBuilder 2.0.1 application. Plays any SND resources (aka sfil Sound files). Can even play them backward, if desired.
