What is Soundsnap?

Soundsnap is the best platform to find and share free sound effects and loops- legally. It is a collection of original sounds made or recorded by its users, and not songs or sound FX found on commercial libraries or sample CD's.

It was originally started by a small group of sound people from all over the world. Our common belief is that sounds and samples should be free for everyone to use in their projects, commercial or not.

Our users are a diverse mix of sound designers, sound artists, web game developers, filmmakers and music producers. Hobbyists and home video makers are welcome too.

What Soundsnap is NOT:

  • An alternative to Myspace, Limewire or BitTorrent.
  • A place to upload your band's songs or your favourite mp3's. Soundsnap is only for sound effects and loops.
  • A place you can upload or find sounds from commercial libraries. All sounds here are original- made or recorded by its users.

We encourage everyone to upload high quality sound FX and samples, helping us make every kind of sound available on Soundsnap.

We are looking for feedback from the community to constantly improve, and we depend on our users for that. So please feel free to leave a recommendation or feedback in the special section of our forum.

I hope you enjoy your time here and Happy Snapping!

When searching the site and playing sample sounds
The first one or two tend to work ok but then I get a problem...
Sample sounds buffer, they load 100% but they just refuse to play, sounds that worked earlier also refuse to play
Any ideas?
Thanks

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.13 browser

I have spoken to the

I have spoken to the 'doctor' (our coder Robb) and he says:

'It sure sounds like an OS related issue and is not unusual when playing streaming sounds... The longer Windows runs, the worse it gets. Restarting the browser often helps but a full computer restart is usually needed eventually.'

and then goes on to propose some possible solutions:

1. Make sure you have the latest and greatest Flash plug in installed

2. Make sure your video players are all updated. MS automatic updates do not always get minor corrections. An occasional manual update via Start / Programs / Window Update is encouraged. Other OSs should do the same.

3. Also, we have increased the download speed to help work around client side issues but that is all we can do for now.

Thnx.
