- is an online repository of searchable sound files licensed under
- Creative-Commons term. The <kbd class="menu">Search Freesound</kbd> tab
- of the import dialog allows you to search the Freesound database,
- and to download and audition files directly.</p>

- <dt>Tags</dt>
- <dd>Enter metadata tags that you would like to search for. You may enter
- multiple search terms separated by spaces. For example,
- <kbd class="input">drums 120bpm</kbd> will search for files that are tagged
- <samp>drums</samp>, <samp>120bpm</samp>, or both.</dd>
- <dt>Sort</dt>
- <dd>Choosing one of the sort options will cause Freesound to return the list
- of available files sorted accordingly. This can save time if you know (for
- example) the sound you need is very short.</dd>
- <dt>Search</dt>
- <dd>Click this button to initiate the search. Freesound will begin returning
- pages of information, with 20 items per page. The <kbd
- class="menu">Stop</kbd> button interrupts the download.</dd>
- <dt>The file list</dt>
- <dd>Click on a file to download it from Freesound. Double-click the file to
- auto-play it in the auditioner.</dd>
-</dl>
-<p>
- Files imported with Freesound will automatically include any tags that are
- associated with the file, and these tags will be included in a search when
- you use the <kbd class="menu">Search Tags</kbd> tab.
