HELLLOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! 
Ok, Ok, I am abit excited.......
I downloaded a bunch of audio extractors from NFSplanet.com for all the Need for Speed versions. One tool, the filename was extractmusicofnsu.zip, the readme was in another language, but I was able to understand the program eaconv.exe(in the archive) at the command prompt. I made a backup of xditties.ast. Just running the exe gave some information and this=
Usage: eadec [options] <file.ext>
the program is actually named eaconv.exe, though.
I extracted the program to my \NBA Live 06\audio\aems directory and ran it on the ditties file. I got alot of "Processing....Done" messages until it was finished. Then a bunch of wav files were in the aems directory....WHICH WERE PLAYABLE!!
Some of the audio files are crowd noises like a crowd chanting-
Dirk! Dirk! Dirk! Dirk!
G P! G P! G P! G P!
K G! K G! K G! K G!
Kobe! Kobe! Kobe! Kobe!
M J! M J! M J! M J! M J! <----could not beleive it unless I heard them wrong, maybe L J?
The funniest so far was "Spreeeeeeee!"
Cancel that, the funniest is "Airball!", I'm typing as I'm listening.
There's also some beats I haven't heard in-game yet.
By the way, there is an ast importer, however when I ran it.. It said Need for Speed isn't installed.

Maybe this is the first step to an importer though. Maybe someone with coding knowledge can get good use out of it.
