I've recently downloaded the shutdown sound INIT. Pretty neat.
However, I couldn't get any of the sounds we have to work with it
except for the Terminator that came with it. All these sounds work
with the startupsound INIT. If anyone has any clues I'd like to hear
them.
In general, there seems to be a problem getting sounds. It would be
nice if someone made a sounds archive somewhere of sounds in
SoundCap/Wave format. Note that they should not be in snd resource
(or any other resource) format since things like CheapBeep and the
sound INIT's don't use resources and there are plenty of snd resource
translators to make snd's.
Whadda ya say?

That's because the ShutDownSound INIT can only use SoundWave files, NOT SoundCap files or any other Sound Files (as you know, it can't read in snd resources). About three weeks ago, I mailed in a wonderful CDEV called SoundMaster to comp.binaries.mac. It's a shareware CDEV that lets you set startup, shutdown, restart, beep, eject disk, insert disk, bad disk and keyclick sounds to any Sound file you can think of -- at any of the four sampling speeds. Won't work on compressed SoundCap files (those are rare these days) or snd resources. I'm in love with it, because it lets me use lower sampling speeds for Startup sounds, etc. Also, it allows for individual volume settings for *each* sound! And you can test them in the cdev to make sure you have the right speed. Should be coming along soon... worth every penny of the $10 shareware fee I paid. My local MUG stores all their sounds in SoundWave format. They figure (I think correctly) that it's a cinch to convert Sound files to snd, rather than visa-versa (even though Sound Leech has made this much easier). Silent gratitude isn't very much use to anyone. -- G. B.
