CNET Editors' review
You'll like the dash of character this free application adds to your MSN Messenger conversations.
Sound Clips for MSN Messenger 7.5 lets you send WAV and MP3 audio files to your friends during instant messenger chats. The program's easy, effortless interface includes 18 funny sample sounds and can play a preview of the sound before sending. Message recipients won't even have to install Sound Clips to receive the audio clips. You can launch the program with its fixed hot key combo, but only when an active chat window is open.
We like that the program lets us further personalize options by adding our own audio files, but only in the supported WAV and MP3 formats. MSN Messenger 7.5 users looking for a reprieve from silence will enjoy the added flare this program brings to IM chats.
Publisher's Description
From Messenger Tools:
Sound Clips for MSN Messenger 7.5 and Windows Live Messenger 8 allows you to send audio clips to your MSN Messenger contacts instead of recording your own voice without even using a microphone. You simply choose any audio file and send it to them. The add-on is easy to use and your Messenger contacts don't need to have the add-on installed to hear the custom sound clips. Comes with 18 default sounds, and supports any MP3 or Wave (WAV) file.
This updated version has been tested with the new Windows Live Messenger 8.1 and includes improved install/uninstall functionality.

"great idea, just doesn't work for me"
Version: Sound Clips for MSN Messenger 7.5 1.7
Pros
Great idea, fun. Easy to use. While in Messenger, press Ctrl+Shift+s to pop up the program.
Cons
It works, but only up to the point where I actually try to send some custom sounds! I tried both mp3 and wav, no good. Could be a case of incompatability - I use Vista 32-bit and I have the HiYo add-on as well.
Summary
It would be fun if it only worked. It didn't work for me, but maybe it will for you. And then google "funny sound clips" or something.

"Maybe it is me but..."
Version: Sound Clips for MSN Messenger 7.5 1.7
Pros
Easy to install, easy to use
Cons
Hassle to get additional clips.
I tried to uninstall the program and it deleted 6 other applications!!! (folders only) It was easy to install them back because no registry entries were deleted. I hope it was something on my side because the reviews seems to be alright.
Well, for this application: Never again!
