Grouping sounds into one playlist that everyone can look to, similar to the download list but it is manageable by the user, so in case a production such as a Game or Film list all used sounds, only a link to the playlist is needed.

And also add comments for each sound added, detailing where and when it was used in the production.

I don't know if it's a viable/sustainable feature but I wouldn't know if I didn't asked.

Nice suggestion, I like it.

Although, you can't really avoid giving individual credits in the game/film if it's a requirement of the CC license. The terms of CCBY and NC require attribution along side the media, so it doesn't really solve that problem...

I know it's simpler and uses less space to give a single blanket credits link that directs to a playlist, but that is not how you should properly attribute. I don't think it's satisfactory to state "sounds used from freesound.org [link to playlist]".

It should look like this for every piece of content used:
https://creativecommons.org/use-remix/attribution/


I am the thing that goes bump in the night...

Hi @TheHENOOB, @Headphaze,

Thanks for the feature suggestion. I agree with @Headphaze that attribution-wise it is good to be as explicit and porominent as possible. We have plans however to rework the current bookmarking feature and turn it into something which would be similar to the playlists you propose. The main idea would be to add the option to create both public and private bookmark lists, and also enable collaboration in the bookmark list creation (so that a list can be edited by a group of users). The whole thing would be renamed to "collections" instead of "bookmarks". Users would be able to download collections as they download packs, and that would include an attribution file similar to that included with pack downloads.

I'd like to work on than sooner than later, but first I need to finish the new UI and be on top of the other thousand things that are going on. But eventually it will happen smile
