About SCD
Square Enix keeps the music, voices and effects of many of its games in SCD files, in games such as Final Fantasy XIII and Final Fantasy XIV. Each starts with SEDBSSCF and holds one sound or many.
Each sound has its own codec: Ogg Vorbis, often with its loop in its tags, Microsoft's ADPCM, PCM, PlayStation's ADPCM, ATRAC9 or the Xbox 360's XMA. Final Fantasy XIV scrambles its Vorbis with a table from the game.
Filepeek opens an SCD as a folder of its sounds, and the one you pick plays at once with vgmstream, twice through its loop and then a fade. Export saves it as MP3 or WAV, and Save as ZIP or Extract all saves every sound as a WAV. Final Fantasy XIV's scrambled Vorbis needs that table from the game, which Filepeek doesn't carry, so those sounds don't play.

Questions
How do I play an SCD file?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek an SCD. Its sounds are listed like the files in a folder, and the one you pick plays at once.
Why won't Final Fantasy XIV's SCD files play?
Final Fantasy XIV scrambles the Vorbis in its SCDs with a table from the game. Filepeek carries no game's keys or tables and takes none, so it says so, while other SCDs play as they are.
Can I turn a sound into an MP3?
Yes. Pick it, choose Export, then Save as MP3 or WAV, and it's saved as it plays here, loop and fade included.
