Using iChat Sounds in Adium. And RIP Jam Master Jay.

Using iChat Sounds in Adium

After my rant yesterday about switching back from iChat to Adium, I realized that I missed the former’s soundset, as compared to the cute (for the first couple of days) sounds of the latter. :) I tracked down iChat’s .aiff files to this directory:

/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/InstantMessage.framework/Versions/A/Resources/

There are six .aiff files there:

Buddy Logging In.aiff
Buddy Logging Out.aiff
Invitation.aiff
Logged In.aiff
Received Message.aiff
Sent Message.aiff

Copy those files to this directory:

~/Library/Application Support/Adium/Custom Files/Sounds/

then open up Adium’s preferences. Under the Other section, you’ll find Sounds. Assign the appropriate sounds with the pop-up menus (the six sounds will apply to the 8 menus well enough), et voila! Spiffy soundset in a spiffier IM client.

RIP Jam Master

I can’t even believe this. Fuck.
