User Guide

Login

SoundLib only provides username-password registration. We will encrypt your password to sha256 hash values, so no one (even the developer of SoundLib) can spy on your private information.

Browse Recordings

Soundlib provides 4 different views.

• Time Line: this view lists recordings on a timeline in ascending order of upload time.
• Members: in this view, recordings are grouped by their uploader, a filter can be further adapted to find a specific user.
• Composers: recordings can also be classified by copmosers of the piece.
• Search: searching for anything you are interested in, including recordings, members and composers.

When an authenticated user want to upload a new recording, he or she can choose the "upload" tab and include required information in the form.
