Ian Vandewalker (ID: 000000041da1567e) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 05/07/2022 Made a sound for exactly one download and never worked again.

Sean Lyons (ID: 0000001caee8ff11) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 08/12/2021 I've been looking for a way to get audible notifications when a download is complete in Chrome. I came across your Chrome extension "Download Notify" and tried it out. So far, it's pretty good but I often miss or don't hear the subtle sound effect as I am usually multitasking on and off my computer especially when other sound sources are present. I would like to make a few suggestions that I think would make this really solid. 1. Looping a sound effect until a user intervenes or stops it. 2. A different sound effect for a failed download, this message reads "Failed - Network error" in the download tab. 3. Custom sounds that can accommodate long length sound files, like a drone, alarm, or a soundtrack until a user intervenes or stops it. Download notifications on lengthy downloads are especially helpful, especially when you are multitasking. Just as important is a different sound for failed downloads, it's pretty frustrating when a lengthy download fails halfway through and you don't realize it until much much later because you are waiting for the completed download sound effect!

Gaurav (ID: 0000004e80adac64) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 06/13/2021 No longer works as of 2021. Most downloads do not give the download finished sound. Very rarely once in 50 downloads, the sound plays.

Newtomic (ID: 0000003dbe01bca0) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 03/21/2020 It needs more work, like a possibility to define a custom sound and the counter is just broken on my computers it's showing like 183 in one, 386 in another, etc.
