Archive.org resource ISO Mega Link v1.2.3.0 BeatJam NetMD Drivers — unavailable in this snapshot

Beatjam started as a separate piece of software but was adapted to add netmd functionality. The rabbit hole goes deep.

Beatjam (at least some versions) supports conversion from ATRAC to other formats, including in batch jobs.

At least one update can be found here, possibly a good source for others as well
