NSSound+SoundList

Categories: Cocoa

Table of Contents

It confounds me as to why Apple will provide an easy way to get a reference a standard system sound (via -soundNamed:) but doesn’t provide any easy way to get a list of available system sounds. Well, as you might of guessed, I’ve created a NSSound category that adds this functionality. The code is adapted from this cocoa-dev post. You can download the source files (BSD license) here.

On a side note I’ve updated the source code page. The underlying code is now alot cleaner (and renders correctly on IE!) and it uses some of those fancy AJAX transitions.

  1. Hehe I stumbled across the same issue… I wrote my own as well 🙂

    I keep thinking that we (Cocoa programmers) need a website where we can put this stuff (like CodeProject.com except for Cocoa). There are so many disparate wonderful cocoa classes floating around, it’d be great to have a central repository for them!

    Cheers and thanks for the great work —
