(a bit unusual for me, ey)
I'd like to ask if someone here has ever heard of the audio file format .snd? I believe it's an archaic format to store music for games, before the mp3 format was invented. I came across such a file while browsing my old cd of Might & Magic VI... which was published nine years ago. Yep, my wrinkles aint just for show, I'm old as hell and was probably playing computer games before half the guys here were born.
It's quite possible the audio format was internal to the company who produced the game (published by 3do, developed by New World Computing). If so, I imagine I'm screwed, but on the off chance anyone has heard of it, I would be very grateful for tips on how to convert this .snd file to a format that can be listened to on Windows.
I don't have any designs for using it for anything other than listening to it, as it's one of my favourite old games. Plus I've had a melody churning in my head for months now and I can't figure out if it's from the Might & Magic VI soundtrack or from a classical music piece....
Here's a copy of the file, in case you want to check it out:

A heads-up though, if you open it in Windows Media Player or similar program you'll most likely hear a very load, agonizing scrambled audio, so turn the volume down really low if you plan to test.
