+Track Settings Type: 0x0B9EB87E
+Binary file Type: 0x7B1ACFCD
+
+Track Settings file:
+
+XML with following properties in order:
+
+Sample Rate - eg 32000
+Unknown string - Always "Track"?
+
+There is also a binary resource with the same instance id as the Track Settings file. Does not seem to contain audio data. Maybe references the actual sound resource?
+
+These sounds should be loaded as AudioAssets so that they can be played like any other sound by TSAudioSource
+
+Replacing the Track settings file with an MP3 triggers a GetSoundDefinition error
+
+Replacing the binary file with an MP3 triggers a GetHitList error
+
+0x7B1ACFCD Must be a HitList resource. Likely contains references to sounds.
+
+Binary file 0x7B1ACFCD:
+
+4 bytes: Always 56?
+4 bytes: Count
+For Count loop
+	References to MP3/XA/etc audio assets
+	4 bytes: Instance Lo
+	4 bytes: Instance Hi
+End loop
+
+
+I wonder if the track settings file is optional? Seems odd to be able to override the sample rate and such when they're provided in the sounds themselves already.

+# HitList resource
+This resource is played by the game like any normal sound, but instead of having sound data it contains references to other audio files that will be randomly picked on playback.
+
+They tend to have a PropertySet file alongside them with the same Instance and Group IDs, of Type ID 0x0B9EB87E (Labeled Track Settings by SimPE) which seems to provide data about the sound such as Sample Rate. and references to other Resources.
