I've just started digging into this site recently, and its really, really amazingly well put together. i've never seen a sample archive with visual and audio previews directly on the site before, usually i have to download tons of stuff and weed out the cruft (a tiresome excersize), but freesound makes it really easy... if i sound like a drooling fanboy, i am :)
