If you are on the look out for free audio stuff, don’t know exactly what you are looking for, or simply like perusing non-preview audio in wav and aif format, then perhaps free-loops is a good destination.

There are bundles of different audio available, some useful some not that much.

The biggest problem with free-loops, is the click hassle. If you spot an entry you might want, you click on it, come to the sounds main page where you have the option of downloading it.

When downloaded, the file is no longer tagged with the appropriate words - it just becomes free-loops-[numbers].format.

With 4k+ sounds available, this really does become buggy … you have to rename each file before loosing sight of it on your harddrive.

Non the less. It’s one of thoose sites that actually provide content - and in a decent format.

You can buy a complete collection (20$ donation) on the site - perhaps these files keep the file name from the site. Who knows.

In the LostAudio spirit, we’d like to recommend this site getting some stream/preview option, and some kind of file handling system, that would allow the description to stay within the downloaded file.

Update

Free-Loops.com (admin Mike Koenig) popped by LostAudio, and noticed the review. Very fast some changes were made, which makes Free-Loops a very very nice audio site. You now keep the online description in the file name after download, and there is a very nice flash preview player.

Nicely done!
