Add some "ear candy" to Windows

External Link

Stardock has released SoundPackager 1.0. SoundPackager makes customizing your sound experience in Windows easy. It works by allowing users to download and distribute pacakges of sound schemes and apply them to their system.

SoundPackager includes an easy to use editor for making sound schemes that can then be packaged up and shared with others. There are already dozens of sound packages available to choose from with more being added daily.

SoundPackager also comes with several premium sound schemes. If you've gotten tired of the Windows XP or Windows Vista sound schemes, then definitely check out SoundPackager to see the additional options.

SoundPackager is a free download. It costs $19.95 to register or registered as part of Object Desktop which includes other applications such as WindowBlinds, IconPackager, and much more.

Visit the SoundPackager home page at www.soundpackager.com for more information.

No Philly...still not working. Waiting for a response from support.

But I'm not gonna lose any sleep over it...it would just be nice if it worked just to try it out...I already have my sounds customized the way I want them.

It works alright, but there is one major problem with it.

Translated: It works great but I don't like it

It pretty much sucks

Translated: No really, I don't like it

Most of those sounds are pretty annoying.

Translated: None of the existing sound packages appeal to me

I ended up muting my speakers, then uninstalled the program.

Translated: Rather than make my own packages that have sounds that suit me or adjusting the volume I removed the app

If you don't mind annoying sounds when you work on your PC, then this program is for you.

Translated: I prefer a quieter work environment

I couldn't imagine spending $20 for this.

Translated: The cost benefit analysis I did made it a poor fit for me as a stand-alone product

People that do that, need their little head examined

Translated: I like New York in June, How 'bout you?

I like a quiet work environment and this is perfectly fine for me?

WebGizmos I understand what you are saying, it's a program that not everyone will be interested in or use. It's also the only one so far in the 3 or so years here that I had any problem with, which when you think about it ain't bad.

One of the things that can get a little annoying is that some of the sounds are longer than the function they are attached to, hope that made sense. Since you all ready have customized your sounds you may not need this. Like everything else it needs someone to go into it and explain how to use it, modify the sound packages, combine some of the packages etc.

Philly...it would be nice if it at least opened and functioned correctly. I can't even get it to do that. Once I can get it open....which it did the very first time I downloaded it when it was first released...but didn't have much in it to play with just yet...I can figure out how to use it easily enough. Since the last update its been trashed. And unfortunately for me its not the first thing that hasn't worked right and not gotten resolved. IconPackager has been flaky for me from the start...then IconDeveloper basically became useless for me.

The support answer I got back about SoundPackager wasn't helpful at all. Basically...."Use SDC to download things"...oh really? No mention of SoundPackager or what the problem is. They need to work on these support responses and "read" the emails.

I wish I could offer some more options, but it looks like you tried everything.

Is the error you are getting similar to what I tried to link you to in reply #20 above?

How about going into IRC and ask one of the Stardock reps, Milksama helped me.

While I'm biased but anyone who thinks the default Windows XP sound scheme is better than the Stardock 2008 scheme included with SoundPackager needs their head examined.

I hope I can get a chance to check that out!

And I agree the default Windows Sounds are kinda blah...which is why I changed most of mine.

Your're allow one of those a day Frogboy. Guess you might as well call it a day, pack it up and go home.

Have to agree with you, just about anything is better than the default Windows XP sound scheme and Stardock 2008 is not bad.

Right now though I kind of like female voices coming from my system, but than I am alone alot!!!!!!

Buttermaker, if ya don't like it don't buy it. Personally, I agree with frogboy on this one. The Windows default sounds are lame. I'm just glad to be able to change the startup and shutdown sounds. I was to the point of never turning off my comp again.......
