Actually, I think there are some types of files (of PD beep sounds) that SoundMaster does not recognize. I think SuitcaseII can open these files and add them to the list in the Sounds CDEV. - John [extra lines to keep my news server happy]

Or you can buy a IIsi or LC with the microphone and record your own sounds. :-) I'm not sure whether this kind of thing is a boon or bane. One guy here recorded "I tried to think, but nothing happened." Cute once, but as a system beep, it gets very old very fast. -- Paul DuBois dubois@primate.wisc.edu

What, you don't have one of the randomizers like BeepShuffle, SwitchBeep or SndControl??!! You deserve to be bored ;-) ! -- Dana E.

It is similar to Font/DA mover but deals with sounds. It can open many kinds of sound files, including the ones you find in the archives. It has been seen under the name Sound Manager Package, too. I must agree with another posting that it can be very annoying to have silly beep sounds, especially long ones, but I do like "Ni!" (from Monthy Python/Holy Grail) and some other short ones. SoundMaster (or SoundControl, which comes with SoundMover) are awful when misused, but we have the right to customize our systems as we like. You know, some people even have brightly colored menu bars and scrollbars without getting sick... However, putting SoundManager in another persons Mac with a 10 second sound on "key klick" is sabotage. -- Ingemar Ragnemalm Dept. of Electrical Engineering ...!uunet!mcvax!enea!rainier!ingemar ..
