Choose Notification Sound

[Nighted]

yeah yeah yeah, I searched: notify sound, notify sounds, notification, download notify, and so on.

Anyway, I'd like to be able to choose the sound for the notification.

As if no one requested this...

Oh, uTorrent is great. Minimalism rules.

[Keloran]

it uses the windows set one afaik

start->control panel->sounds and audio->sounds->system notification

[Nighted]

Yes, I know that...that's not what I was asking for. That is a sound event that's assigned to another action. It's sloppy to do it the way you suggest.

...if there is source code available, someone please direct me to it and I'll fix this myself.

No, there isn't a source code available to the public. Relax. :| If you ask nicely, you may get what you want. However, with your current attitude... :/

I think this is a good idea. I use "no sounds" as my sound scheme, but would welcome the ability for just utorrent to give me a nice little sound when a download completes. Feature request seconded!

As a polite Canadian (with an even politer British origin) I'd like to add a third request for this feature.

Also, this might be intentional, but one limitation of the notification sound as it's coded now is say a download finishes while my screensaver is running or monitor is off, the sound won't play until I've come back to the computer and un-idled it by moving the mouse etc. It would be much better if the sound would play immediately upon completion regardless of whether the computer is idle or not.

I also was looking for the sound question. It would be nice to have the possibility to attach a sound file to several actions performed by the program, ie 'start download' and 'finished download'.

I just started using uTorrent and this is a feature that is pushing me towards using a different client.

It's quite simple to do one of the following:

beep

allow the user to specify a wav file for the Download complete event

play an existing windows sound event

I use the windows sound events a lot in the applications I create because you don't have to include a sound file, it's just a few lines of code to set it up and then a single command to play the sound, and you get more flexibility than using the standard "beep". Uses: sndPlaySound in winmm.dll

[Shix]

I agree.

The option for this feature would be nice to have.

uTorrent still owns anything else.

[squirt]

i hereby 10th this motion - a feature like this would b awesome!

You don't need to bump every thread about it. You can do what you will right now by changing your System:Alert sound in the Control Panel to your screech sfx.

this answer is by far worse than whatever bad attitude dude had... can't stand this type of response... basically, fugth...

Until they implement this function (Notification Sound) in uTorrent, this might help:

I found this online:

Thanks to helloutofdodge from reddit.com

Useful: Play sound when download completes in uTorrent

1) Open Notepad and paste the following script

Set wmp = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX")

wmp.settings.autoStart = True

wmp.URL = "C:\Windows\Media\Windows Battery Low.wav"

while wmp.Playstate <> 1

WSH.Sleep 100

wend

2) Save it as DownloadComplete.vbs to the uTorrent.exe program folder (or any other folder you like):

3) In uTorrent preferences type the location of DownloadComplete.vbs.

That`s it.

Screenshot:

It works for me. You can also change the sound.

Windows 7 sound files (*.wav files) are usualy located in C:\Windows\Media

Enjoy

Oh, and thank you for uTorrent, it`s a great program.

Do you have a WAVE file called C:\Windows\Media\Windows Battery Low.wav?

[nekia101]

Do you have a WAVE file called C:\Windows\Media\Windows Battery Low.wav?

Here are some wav files:

or

You can use any wav file you want.

Here's a quick and dirty method for Windows 7 users to use a windows system sound (or any sound file) to play when a torrent finishes downloading:

go to Options > Preferences > Advanced > Run Program

In the "Run this program when a torrent finishes" box, type:

wmplayer "C:\Windows\Media\Afternoon\Windows Logon Sound.wav"

Then click the "Apply" button, and you're done!

When a torrent finishes, this will open windows media player and play whatever sound file path is in the quotes. You still need to close media player, but you can do this when you come back to the pc as your torrent just finished downloading

Note: the sound file provided in the example is from windows 7. XP users (not sure about Vista) don't need this, as the standard system notification (i.e. "the balloon notification") will make the familiar "popping" sound.
