Simple Steps for uploading a sound

1. Preview first:

2. Click the "upload sound" button on the frontpage or in the siedebar menu.

3. Click the "choose"-button under "Add a new audio file:". A dialog box pops up. Pick your mp3-file from your harddrive and hit "open".
   

4. Scroll to the bottom and hit the "Preview"-button. Please hit it only once. The file will now upload quietly without you getting much feedback. Hang in there - depending on your internet speed an upload might take many minutes. When the upload is done, the page will refresh and you're good to continue with the entering of information.
   

5. Entering information:

6. Start at the top and go through the entry fields and checkboxes to enter information. A good title is helpful for the sound to be found. If an id3 tag was found in your file, the title box may already display a title it found in the file. You may edit that. Use a short title that best describes the essence of your recording. The artist box may contain your real name or nickname or simply be empty.
   

7. Please take time for proper tagging and categorisation. Good tagging is everything for this catalog and will let many more people find your sound!
   

8. Please give a bit of description about the recording into the "body". It's always good to know what, when, where or how a sound got recorded. You musn't do this, but it will be good for searchability and a good service to the people who use the sounds. Advanced users can use bbCode to format the text.
