This page offers free sound and music loops. I've composed and recorded four brief loops on acoustic guitar. The loops are 16-bit mono wav files, and are designed especially to for use in Powerpoint presentations.
Download instructions:
- Select a sound you wish to download.
- Click on the corresponding speaker icon.
- If you're using Netscape, a small pop-up window should appear near the top of your screen. The window should say "loading audio file."
- Be patient. Depending on your modem or connection speed, downloading the file could take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes.
- Once the file is fully downloaded, the audio file should automatically play in its entirely. Listen.
- If you wish to save the sound, right click -- again, that's right click -- on the pop-up window, and select Save As.
- Save the file to a local drive (and remember in which drive and folder: you'll need to retrieve it in a moment).
