I still see some people on the internet having problems with the new way Minecraft stores their sound files and how to extract the sounds for listening pleasure.
An index located in ".minecraft\assets\indexes" called 1.8.json (or maybe later in the future there will be a 1.9.json or something) has a "sound: hash" format for the sounds in ".minecraft\assets\objects". The names of the sounds are now a hash with no file format. If you want, you could search through the json for the sound file and locate the hash and just put .ogg as the file type at the end of the hash file as it's just the sound file with the .ogg removed.
For your comfort (well technically I made it for me but, sharing is nice) I made a program (currently Windows only, sorry Mac users!) that you can supply the json index file in the same directory in, enter a keyword to extract the sounds containing that keyword (if you enter "step" you would get "step1.ogg, step2.ogg, step3.ogg and so on. But if you entered "step1" you would get "step1.ogg" only) and places those files in a folder YOU HAVE TO CREATE called "minecraftsounds" (without quotes).
REMEMBER: You have to create the folder, for ease of use, I included the folder but if you move the executable you must move the folder with it or create another folder called "minecraftsounds". Also don't forget to supply the .json file, if in the future a newer version of the json is there, just copy it over and rename it to "1.8.json" (without quotes).
ALSO: The tool will not work if you don't have minecraft installed or if your installation is broken, etc. (Well you won't find the .json if you don't have it installed anyway, but if you did find it and it doesn't work, try reinstalling minecraft)
DISCLAIMER: I am not responsible if this tool is misused, keep the extracted files to yourself and only use it if you have bought Minecraft and not a pirated version or something like that.
