11 is an online repository of searchable sound files licensed under
12 Creative-Commons term. The <kbd class="menu">Search Freesound</kbd> tab
13 of the import dialog allows you to search the Freesound database,
14 and to download and audition files directly.</p>
17 <dd>Enter metadata tags that you would like to search for. You may enter
18 multiple search terms separated by spaces. For example,
19 <kbd class="input">drums 120bpm</kbd> will search for files that are tagged
20 <samp>drums</samp>, <samp>120bpm</samp>, or both.</dd>
22 <dd>Choosing one of the sort options will cause Freesound to return the list
23 of available files sorted accordingly. This can save time if you know (for
24 example) the sound you need is very short.</dd>
26 <dd>Click this button to initiate the search. Freesound will begin returning
27 pages of information, with 20 items per page. The <kbd
28 class="menu">Stop</kbd> button interrupts the download.</dd>
29 <dt>The file list</dt>
30 <dd>Click on a file to download it from Freesound. Double-click the file to
31 auto-play it in the auditioner.</dd>
34 Files imported with Freesound will automatically include any tags that are
35 associated with the file, and these tags will be included in a search when
36 you use the <kbd class="menu">Search Tags</kbd> tab.
