       | This is fantastic. I've got two samplers that I've just started
       | building a sample library for (Korg Drumlogue and Teenage
       | Engineering's KO II) This is exactly the kind of tool that will
       | help me find interesting sounds. Great job.

         | Even better, while there's plenty of music to be had, there's a
         | lot of other stuff as well. In my case, what led me to even
         | find this was just looking for public domain audio files I
         | could use for testing and debugging various bits of audio
         | processing software that I'm working with.
         | 
         | I'll be interested in maybe using some files for testing speech
         | recognition and what-not as part of that. So some of the
         | interviews and spoken word recordings will be of primary
         | interest to me.
         | 
         | That said, I'm sure there's some interesting music mixed in
         | here as well and I'm looking forward to exploring that. :-)

       | Love it that they didn't only chop everything, analyzed it and
       | offered people to download single items, but put a sequencer
       | there as well as offering bulk downloads (basically sample
       | packs). That you can filter by note + pitch is awesome too! Will
       | be fun to play around with.
       | 
       | I'd love to have a volume slider though, because it does get a
       | bit loud when dragging the mouse, so I don't have to turn down
       | everything. Or even better, if every clip was also adjusted by
       | perceived loudness (with a on/off toggle).
