MacOSX Installation
To install for a single user, place these sounds in the following folder:
/Users/[username]/Library/Sounds/

To install globally, place these sounds in the following folder:
/System/Library/Sounds/ [requires root permission]

or

Create the following folder:
/Library/Sounds/

Once they are in that folder, they will show up as System Sound choices in the Sound Control Panel

Included Sounds:
-bip*
-boing
-chutoy
-clink-klank
-droplet
-indigo
-laugh
-logjam
-monkey
-moof
-newbip**
-pong2003
-quack
-single clip
-sosumi
-temple
-uh oh
-voltage
-whit
-wild eep

*Bip is not actually a sound file. It calls to hardware to make a noise using a simple sound command. So far, OSX refuses to use it as a System Sound, but it will work as an alert in other Apps (i.e. Mail).

**NewBip is a recording of Bip using wiretap. the original Bip is still included to be true to the original intention of the Classic Sound Pack (after all, it is possible that hardware beeps on different machines may sound different).

MacOS Classic Sound Pack ReviewWHOO! I GOT MY SQUEAKY TOY BACK!! - Version: 1.4, 7/24/2005 09:39AM PST

I can't even begin to say how much I missed Chu Toy and the Wild Eep in OS X. I've been able to use them occasionally still at work - where we've still got some OS 9 machines around - but at home I've been squeak-less for years. I have the eep back! Thank you for this awesome download!!

MacOS Classic Sound Pack ReviewThank you so much. - Version: 1.4, 11/8/2004 08:45PM PST

I've missed my Uh Oh since converting to OS X years ago. When I first installed OS X, I converted Uh Oh to an AIFF and tried to get the system to recognize it. I have long since forgotten what I tried, but after about an hour I gave up. I agree that the current sounds are too short and quiet, even at max volume. Thanks for doing all of the conversion work, and for your tutorial on how to correctly install them.

These sounds sounded great on the orginal hardware but sure show their age on the X machines!

Still you can't beat the price, plus you don't have to dig around everywhere to find them. Top marks in my book!
