You can also place
sound files in ~/System/Library/Sounds/ for them to show up system wide.
Just a quick not to say that you should NEVER put user files in any

That's a new one on me; I thought *.wav files, which are older than
windows, are digital wave form representations. I'll grab flip and
figure it out; thanks.

/system/library/sounds
and
/users/mark/library/sounds

Hi,
Actually, I think you are right. All I do know is that they are files,

all I know is Itunes plays them and yet OS10 doesn't recognize them as
valid system sounds, even though they're right there on the path.

As I said you should not be using the /System folder but use instead

Thanks very much, Kieren! In fact, I now have the sounds working,
though I don't know what I did, other than quitting and restarting
apps and, eventually, the computer herself. I should try and
duplicate this with more sounds. :) All sorts of chaos may ensue.
