Reinstalled, where to find prepurchased soundpools ?

Hello,

I just reinstalled windows and then music maker premium 2023. Then that updated to 2024. There were some sound pools installed but no where near all the ones I have purchased. The ones preinstalled were in oog format and I wanted them in wav so I deleted them hoping they would still be listed and I could download them in wav format. They are not, they disapeared from the list of soundpools in the program. I would like to get them back but hey they where free so whatever.
  My big question is where are the soundpools I have already bought. There are quite a few of them, am I supposed to go through he store and find each individual one I have already bought looking for the little icon that is different in the corner for the ones already purchased and download them that way ? Surely there is a simpler and faster way to do this ?

Any help is really appreciated.

@Brian-Robichaud They should be all listed in the Download tab inside the program.

Hi,

Other than downloading them again as @SP. pointed out (under Downloads tab), you should have copied the entire Soundpools folder (like everything else - like the Music Maker files in your Documents) onto a backup medium or an external drive, and then pasted into the Soundpools location after reinstalling Windows. If you have a backup, take a look there. It would save a lot of downloading. Just have Music Maker scan the Soundpools folder once back in place.

I have Soundpools purchased from before the Store, some from on-line, some from CD's. These would not show up under Downloads in Music Maker. I also keep the zip files from Producer Planet purchases so that I don't have to go there and download again.

Thank you very much, I found the download "button." I had looked but I guess I did not look hard enough.
  Yes, a back up is a very good idea. My windows crashed so I ended up just reinstalling, so I did not have a chance to just copy things over.

Thanks for the help and speedy replies.
