Where are the 1,500 diverse sounds that were advertised in Music Maker?

In newly purchased CD for Music Maker 17 I have three Styles under Soundpools...they are:

Hip Hop Vol. 12
Rock Alternative Vol. 3
Technotrance Vol. 13

I was expecting a lot more then just those three. They certainly don't give me 1,500 diverse sounds like the box says. Am I missing something?

Also, anyone know what the Vol. numbers mean? Where are all the other Volumes?

Hi,

It is very strange the DVD should have all those genre.

You can confirm by inserting soundpool DVD in to the CD/DVD Rom of computer then if it opened automatically just exit the window do not eject. Go to My Computer right click on DVD drive, from menu click open, it will open all folders inside. Check what is included if you can see all files it means there is a possibility DVD might be double layered (may be) or due to some error you could not see rest of the files in the DVD.

You can also confirm the genre included in the DVD 17 from the Pdf.

Additional: volume number has no special meaning but volumes included in the DVD 17 will not be in other Soundpool DVDs.

Thanks Nihon94. I did as you said and sure enough, there are 5 different styles and a lot more files in all the styles. How do I get them to show up in the program?

From what I've been reading, it may be a moot point, since now that I've already purchased this version, it looks like Magix has, almost secretly, changed their approach to the use of their loops and clips and that I can't use any of the files in this version in any commercial way (unlike sounds from previous versions). If this is the case, then these files are only marginally useful to me anyway.

Well, now I have lots of sounds. I bought back copies of 15 and 16 as well as the Best Of Soundpool since those I can use in creating music for commercial use. Love this music stuff!
