Wow! Decades ago when I was a theatre sound designer I had those on vinyl and used them all the time. This brings back memories.

- ryan-allen 8y agoI wonder if there's a mass download of all these sounds? I'm just lazy. These are epic! EDIT: Working on a one liner :) EDIT: I'm sure it's like some curl and xargs and sed, it's been a while... EDIT: Oh yeah, I win at internet: curl http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/BBCSoundEffects.csv http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/BBCSoundEffects.csv | grep -Eow "[0-9]+.wav" | xargs -I % curl http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/%>% http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/%>% EDIT: Wait I suck that doesn't work. This does: curl http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/BBCSoundEffects.csv http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/BBCSoundEffects.csv | grep -Eow "[0-9]+.wav" | xargs -I % curl -O http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/% http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/% -O for dOwnlOad
- jungletek 8y agoThanks, seems to be chugging along fine in an MSYS2 terminal on Windows. Now to give them better names than the numbers used by BBC. Any solutions/suggestions?
- jungletek 8y agoActually, some of those transfers ended up timing out, and I have no way to know which files are incomplete. Ended up using Notepad++ and a simple regex in the find/replace dialog to prepend ########.wav with the URL, then chucked it into JDownloader's link grabber. 283.83GB, BTW. I may end up compressing these with FLAC to save the space. If anyone is curious, the regex I used was: (([0-9])+.wav) and replaced with http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/$& http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/$& Now for the naming and splitting by CD name...
