Freesound Forums

There are a lot of sound files that I would like to work with however I am limited to the download speed of 52Kbps dial-up (I live very rurally - in a dead wireless zone - and HughesNet Satellite internet has been a TERRIBLE! experience so I recently dumped it).

If I can - detailed directions re: how, please.

If I can't - then I guess this is a "feature request."

Thanks,

I believe the forthcoming Freesound2 will allow previews which begin part way into the sample, rather than always playing it from the start.

NB: recording the Freesound preview, (e.g. using "record what U hear", isn't as good as downloading the actual file: the previews suffer from artifacts, (on this version of Freesound(1) anyway).

Thanks for answering my post, Timbre. I guess that I will just have to download some of the larger files that I am interested in overnight when I don't have to worry about tying up the phone line for a few hours.

You could ask the uploader ( or anyone come to think of it ) to upload the part you are interested in, if it was uploaded as FLAC it would be even easier.
