On this same subject, I was in my local CD store (they don't sell records or tapes) and I saw to sound effects CD's. They seemed to be the kind of stuff you'd need to produce a standard type radio drama. The first disk was concerned with houshold sounds while the second dealt with transportation sounds. Each had close to 100 tracks (of several seconds each). For example, the household disk had stuff like: vacuum, electric can openers, various doors opening and closing, etc. The transportation disk had car and motorcyle sounds: Porsche passing at 50 mph, Civic pulls up, idles, drives away, etc. These wouldn't be useful for your start up or error sounds, but might be of great use in a HyperCard stack or adventure game. I'm not sure of their copyright status. If anyone wants, next time I go to the CD store, I'll get the exact titles, labels, catalog numbers, etc. -- Marc Sarrel The Ohio State University 611 Harely Dr #1 Department of Computer and Information Science Columbus, OH 43202-1835 sarrel@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Disclaimer: Hey, what do I know?

Most sound effects records you find in stores are Copyright and can not be copied in radio shows, advertisements, or embedded into HyperCard stacks. There are companies that license sound effects records for production use. -Ron

I have access to CD-ROM equipment at work which reads your standard CD-ROM format disks. It choked on my ZZ-TOP CD though (hey, you gotta try this stuff out. You learn things ... :-) so either the drive was making a comment on my taste in music, or we have another format to read. Does anyone have or know of technical info on CD-ROM and/or Music CD formats? What I would like to do is use some short clips from Music CD's in some of my personal stuff, like StartupSounds, Hypercard Stacks and the like. Yes I am aware of copyrights; it's personal use/backup only ;-) - Andrew DISCLAIMER: Responsibility: Just say No! Andrew C.
