You know, I was actually thinking about this the other day. Adding sounds and sound themes to the site originally sounded like a cool idea. The more I thought about it though, the more ambivalent I felt. Still not sure it would work, but hey, you aren't the only one who has thought it!

ToeJo: What kind of sounds do you mean? If you mean sounds to use in skins and themes, then I don't think Stardock need to create this kind of application, as there are literally thousands of royalty free sounds and music available in many places on the net.

I think ToeJo is referring to a 'sound theme' idea - it's been raised before IIRC. By that I (& I think ToeJo) mean(s) a package of sounds that apply to the windows (& windowblinds) actions - shutdown, startup, open window, minimize, etc, etc.

In the default Windows control panel->sounds option there is already the capability to save your current sound mapping configuration, so I don't know what could be added to that to make it any easier to use?

I specifically was thinking about a theme that would come pre-packaged. That you could simply unzip and it would apply itself like an Iconpackager theme. Yes, windows has the ability to add sonic themes...but how do you package them in a zip file and can you use mp3 files. Yes, Windowblinds also allows you to use sounds in it's system as well...but can it access all the different parts windows for sounds, such as startup and shutdown.

Again, the emphasis is on a package that could include mp3 files and could be applied in a simple format.
