* Note: The Xounds 3.x upgrade is not free. This release implements a new URU (Unsanity Registration Updater). If you bought Xounds on or after August 28th, 2009, this upgrade is free. If you bought Xounds before August 28th, 2009 and you have a previously valid serial number, you will be given a 33% coupon if you wish to update. Your currently valid code will continue to work with older releases of Xounds.

All of the serial number updating is done through URU. URU presents itself if needed when you open the Xounds Preference Pane. It's all very straight forward and we hope you enjoy the action.

  • Plays sounds when you work - when you pull down menus, drag windows, select menu items, empty trash, and more.
  • Assign freely which events you want to be voiced and which not.
  • Assign any AIFF sound to supported events.
  • Ability to import Mac OS 8 or 9 sound sets for use in Mac OS X.
  • Stereo or mono output - so you actually hear on what side you have pulled the menu down.
  • Exclude list to remove certain applications from being affected by Xounds.
  • Easy to configure as it comes in usual Preference Pane form, accessible through System Preferences.
