Quick Startup Sound V1.0
Written by Rene Trost 2001.

What is Quick Startup Sound

Quick Startup Sound brings back the Classic startup sound feature to MacOS X. It is very small and fast, because it runs in background, you can directly begin to use the Finder, even while the startup sound is playing. Quick Startup Sound is Freeware.

Why Quick Startup Sound

Inspired by Xgadgets "Classic Startup Sound", I wrote this programm with the idea to optimize it in any way. The result is Quick Startup Sound a just 2KB small application, pure PPC assembler made this possible.

How to use it

Simply add it to your Startobjects in the Login Preferences. Quick Startup Sound comes with a "defaulsound" (the THX trailer as mp3), you can replace this sound with any sound you want (mp3, aiff, wave, etc.) as long as you keep it in the same folder as the QuickStartupSound application and as long as you do not rename it. Any QuickTime supported sound format is allowed. You can place the QuickStartupsound folder where ever you want, e.g. in the Applications folder. You may test if the app works by simply double clicking it - you should hear the sound then.

Where can I find other sounds?
