Once you use ADKtoMML on a Neo-Geo sound ROM, it'll create dozens of MML text files. You can then copy & paste the notes in these files into any MML editor. For ease of use, I use the online Visual MML Player. This player generates only square waves, but it does the job of previewing the songs.

What is the difference between C and S?

The data inside C ROMs is for the main sprites of the game: the characters, backgrounds, bullets, etc. The data inside the S ROMs is for the fix layer. This layer is drawn above all sprites and it never scrolls. So S data is for things like the current score, number of lives, etc. The 'HUD' if you will.
Why are the colors so weird?

The sprites are stored separate from the color palettes. There's no good way to get the color data from a ROM without running the game. So an alternating blue/yellow palette was chosen as it allows the different colors to stand out.
