>> We thought we’d found a way to stop the sound in Firefox…

We’d love to post a free resource here that helps you find out which tab a sound is coming from, but unfortunately we don’t have a resource for this dilemma yet! Do you? Let’s say you got a few dozen tabs open in your browser and you notice that there is some music playing. You close all the other programs, but you need your browser open to work with it, including all the tabs.

You’re trying to listen to a web seminar and you just can’t find the source of the other sound – what do you do? You’ve already checked the tabs and there are no YouTube, MySpace or other video and music sites open.

If you have a free solution (or very inexpensive one) for Mac and PC, please post in the comments!

You simply add the URL from the YouTube video or one of several other video services supported at Video2mp3, click convert and it spits it an URL where you can download the mp3 file. This may be working well for lengthy speeches for example that you can then listen to on your mp3 player. There are copyright implications, so be sure to read the terms of service which state that the “illicit exchanges of recordings and protected works as well as the hacking harm artistic creation can result in legal action”. You have to agree to follow all laws and not copy restricted materials.

Make sure your sound is on for instantsfun’s collection of sounds. Click on each button for the sound and on each title to get to the sound’s individual page and corresponding sound source.

There are plenty of MP3 search engines out there that simply search the web for free MP3s and present them for downloading on their sites. The problem with these MP3 search engines is that much of the material is copyrighted and it may be illegal for you to download and use the files. For legal downloads, visit Rhapsody for example, the online digital music service. It offers free weekly MP3 downloads for new releases, old-time favorites, indie, hip-hop, classical and more.
