Unfortunately, when I try to Play/Download a clip, I get the message: "Invalid Source"

Same here.

@zehavi & @Terfyn: I'm not sure which plugin is needed, but I'm able to play the SoundFX on both Firefox and Chrome. I've also downloaded a file via each.

I did have an issue earlier where I couldn't play any soundFX tracks after a while. I refreshed my browser and all was fine.

@RobertOZ and the Mods: This is a very useful link. Thanks for sharing. Could I suggest a pinned thread with such links that is locked to prevent chatter, but added to & updated when new sites become available or obsolete?

Also, this is definitely one occasion when I would have appreciated a 'Like' or 'Thank you' button on this forum. Merci!

The BBC SoundFX archive has been available for some time on CDs for anyone who was interested. You had to purchase the discs though.

Thank you for all the replies.
With Google Chrome it works well.

It worked too well for me with FF59. What I wanted was to save the page detail as a note for future reference, but what I got was the start of an automatic download of all the sounds. It was something like 150Mb into it before I realised what was happening. Cancelled that, tried again, same result. Eventually just screenshotted the page image and saved that.

Why not just Bookmark the page Davidk, then it's always available

That's exactly what I did!

Bookmarked, works for me. The page printable details for my class were what I was after, also.
