I d/led the new aim the other day and I notice that when certain people sign on and off it will make a strange sound or play a part of a song or something. How do you do this?
Hi soulsick!
First of all, wellcome to BBB, as I noticed this is your first post.
Having said this, there is a very easy way to do that…just select your buddy and right click on it.
Go to > Alert me when ScreenName here is available. A window will then pop up where you can select your notification settings for this buddy.
The default settings correspond to the notifications settings on your preferences (My AIM>Edit Preferences>Notifications), but in this window, you will be able to personalize it the way you want for each buddy and add an specific sound to it.
There is a list of default sounds you can use, but if you want it to be a bit of a song or something more personal, just copy the Windows media file in the folder Sounds wich you will find in Program Files>AIM95 folder and select it by checking Playing Sound and browsing to it.Hope it is clear…

Actually its not that… it is people that I dont have on alert… like they set up a certain sound to send to everyone that has them on their list to hear. I wanted to set mine up to make a sound on other people’s but I have no idea how to.
I’m pretty sure that this has to do with the Outgoing sounds settings in AIM 5.5, I know this is how you can customize the sound you send to other when you send an IM, and I think the Online sound can be set there. You need to be an AIM Expressions Subscriber or an AOL member to use these features though.
Ahhm, if you read my thread I mention where the sounds are located. You can just make another .wav file to replace the one you want to change (with the same filename).
is there a way to get these sounds without being a paid member of aim expressions? i tried using the australian version of aim… but nothing really happened…
i think i know what you are talking about…. if you updated to the new AIM it lets you hear other people’s sounds if you have it enabled (somewhere in the preferences). maybe the person you were talking to had it enabled and so did you and they had that sound
i don’t know if there is a way to get free AIM expressions though… i wish!! i have been trying to find some downloadable sounds and the only place i have found is http://www.sonicspike.net/sounds/aim/
