From: DJW on 11 Apr 2010 16:43 I run OS 10.4 on a B & W G-3. I can not seem to find any place where I can change the alert and other sounds the computer uses for different tasks and things. Is that able to be set like in the older systems?

Yes, SystemPreferences -> Sound -> Alert (Soundeffects?) And to add new .aiff sounds just put them in volumename/system/sounds. You probably will need admin access to do this. Afterwards you then can select the sounds from the controlpane as normal alert sounds.

It's better not to modify anything in the /System folder. /Library/Sounds is a better place to put custom alert sounds. That's where I have mine. /Users/username/Library/Sounds is another place, but only that user will be able to access them. -- K. Lang may your lum reek.

I guess my question is can sounds be assigned like in windows for most things like emptying the trash, opening windows etc.
