About
Back when I got my first Mac, an SE running system 6, I was given a public domain disk distributed by Rutgers University that contained a Control Panel called FinderSounds which has a creation date of May 1990. The Soundmaster Control Panel was more popular, but I was always partial to the sounds provided by FinderSounds. Leap forward almost a decade and Apple is supplying us with Sound Sets in the Appearance Control Panel, and I wondered, "Do you suppose those old FinderSounds would sound halfway decent if the resources were copied out and pasted into a copy of an Appearance Sound Set?" Sure enough, it worked. There are more sounds in the modern version, so in some placed I did some SoundEditing of a Platinum sound or a FinderSound, and in a couple of places I left the Platinum sound intact, but all of the original FinderSounds have a home now in this FinderSounds Soundset. Public domain / freeware.
