can't install newly downloaded soundpool in MM14

I just purchased and downloaded a soundpool from Catooh and can't figure out where the unzipped folders are supposed to go to get MM14 to recognize it and showup in the media pool. Any response would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
It's kind of up to you where they go... I have a second hard drive where I have all my sounds organized in a folder called Samples; I also back-up all my music to that drive a well. Then you can simply point MM14 Media Pool to the samples on your second drive.

If you don't have a second drive then simply create a folder for the sound pool collection and keep all your sounds there; again pointing MM14 to that location.

Finally, got it to work.

I had installed the media files on my second hard drive, as I recall, the install asked where to put things, and I had it put the files there because my c drive was too small. I forgot and nothing in the program (in the folders section of options points there, so I don't know where they save that, maybe in registry).

Anyway, to fix it, I moved the folder (unzipped from the dloaded zip file) into this folder (which has my other soundpool files) and then used the reset database option in options -> general -> soundpool, (click the reset database button). After that, the first time I clicked on soundpool tab, it found everything.

Hope this helps.

I'm having the same problem, I unzipped the files, then tried to do an import from the soundpool tab, found the directory, and nothing seemed to happen. Then I exited and restarted the program, it went through all the motions of loading the files into the database, and again, nothing happened after that.
