Help/FAQ

Q: What program should I use to play the sound files on your site?
A:
Winamp (free version) or Windows Media Player. Apple Quicktime also works.

Q: What should I do if I find a broken link or a “File Not Found” error on your site?
A:
Contact me about the error so I can fix it. Thanks for your help.

Q: Whenever I click on a link to a .WAV I get an error message that says something like it can’t find the file, make sure the path and filename are correct. What’s up with that?
A:
The link/bookmark/favorite that you use to get to Movie Sounds Central probably does not have an ending slash to it. I.e., it probably reads either “moviesoundscentral.com” or “https://moviesoundscentral.com”. You need to change the link to “https://moviesoundscentral.com/” – that will fix your problem.

Q: Why do I see both .WAV and .MP3 files on your site?
A:
I have converted many of the .WAV files to .MP3 to reduce Movie Sounds Central’s bandwidth usage. The .MP3 files are smaller in size without losing sound quality.

Q: How do I save these sound files?
A:
If you’re a Windows user using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape, etc, right-click on the link to the file and choose the “save” or “save target as” option. If you’re on a Macintosh, and you’ve actually got a two- or three-button mouse, you can right-click, too. Otherwise, Ctrl-click the link and choose the “save” option.

Q: You used to take requests. Do you still take requests?
A:
Kind of/sort of/not really. Yes, I used to take requests, but I started receiving so much hate mail when I wouldn’t do some request that it just wasn’t worth the abuse. So… you can send in requests if you want, but please do not expect an immediate response. In fact, sometimes I may not respond at all, especially if it’s not something I have or can easily get. Don’t take offense, while I’d love to answer every e-mail, I’m just one guy and time constraints may prevent me from answering your e-mail in a timely fashion.
