Getting Japanese Sonic CD soundtrack on US or Europe Sonic Gems?

According to someone on Gamefaqs PS2 Sonic Gems board they did it, but does anyone know how to do it, or make a step by step guide to getting it to work.

First open sonic gems iso or disc with isobuster locate the folder soniccd then open that folder then extract the file soniccd.cvm to your hard drive. Next, open up the new extracted file soniccd.cvm with isobuster and select the file you want I will use the file BGM_US.AFS as an example. Extract it using isobuster to a folder on your hard drive. Now using the tool AFS305.exe press the extract lba without names button then press the extract button. You will have a new folder called @extracted with all the afs files in there generic named like FILE0, FILE1 rename all these files with the .adx extension and run the tool ADX_Convertor.exe this will convert the adx sound file to .wav format which can be played using windows media or mfaudio etc to listen to the music. You can make .batch files to make the process simplier to convert the whole files to rename and convert the files to .wav.

Hope this helps!

I actually meant changing the in game soundtrack as it has a US soundtrack and a JP soundtrack and default is set to US by the bios, but people have edited an iso with hex workshop so it selects the JP soundtrack.
