Here's what you need: (freeware; find it via Google)
- Clie Picture Converter (yes yes)
- Mobile Media Converter
1) Go to following folder on your PC:
C:\Program Files\palmOne\{name of your palm}\Backup
You'll find files like 5-3-08-15-082_Vpad.pdb
these are the VoicePad files;
2) copy the files you need to a new folder which I'll call C:/Test
3) Open Clie Picture Converter, and drag the files from C:/Test to it.
New files with .JPG extension will appear in your folder.
4) Rename these JPG files to .AMR files.
5) use Mobile Media Converter to convert the .AMR files to .MP3 files
6) Lay back, smile, and enjoy the rest of your day.

If this doesn't work for you (for instance, if you have a Centro), it's probably because your sound files are stored as .qcp rather than .amr.
To convert these files to WAV, follow steps 1-3 above, but then change the file extension from .jpg to .qcp (or if you've already set up the .amr files this way, just change the .amr to .qcp).
Then download the free Qualcomm PureVoice application:

Here's the process you have to follow to export a WAV file from a .qcp in the PureVoice app:
1. Open the .qcp (double-clicking should automatically open it in the app)
2. Press the stop button if the .qcp is playing (otherwise the convert option will be dimmed)
3. Select file -> convert to convert it to a WAV
4. THEN Save As... (the file will now automatically save as a WAV)
You have to do this one file at a time, but the conversion process is quick and the steps above go even quicker if you use the key commands: F7, then shift-alt-C, then ctrl-S.
