@audiodeviant I add them manually. Here is a link to my XML file with all icons, sounds, pointers, etc. http://www.mediafire.com/?wxsc.....9oq5pz2pb9
Converting sounds to .vag (using MFAudio) actually speeds the sound up. Slow down/change pitch of the sounds then convert them to .vag. Of course slowing the sound down will make it longer. You will have to find what works best for you.
There's some useful info here too: http://www.ps3-themes.com/foru.....torial-new
Personally I don't use Theme Builder for sounds, I do it manually. I also use GoldWave instead of Audacity, but that's a personal preference.

@audiodeviant yeah. The XML I provided in the link has everything you'll need. The sound portion is the stuff in the 'setable' block of text
There are 5 sounds you can create:
1. optionmenu (accessing infobar on right side)
2. decide (accessing sub-menus)
3. cursor (shuffling thru XMB)
4. cancel (backing out of sub-menus or choosing ‘no’)
5. system ok (when you choose ‘yes’)

I will try to make this as easy as i can for you m8, first create your theme so you are just ready to run it through p3tcompiler but before that you will add your sounds. So make sure you have all your sounds ready make sure that each vag is no more than 2 seconds to be safe. So go to your theme folder and open you XML file in notepad++ i am gonna use the default XML in GlowBalls animated theme tools ie the animated full theme XML. It should look something like this http://screensnapr.com/e/B4ZNfP.png now see the highlighted line well thats what makes your video background show up. When you add sounds with theme builder and save it will change that line to default so it will not show your animation, so all you need to do is add your sounds with theme builder then hit save, then open the XML in notepad++ again and just add the that line back in again then compile them and you will have sounds. Hope you understand this if not let me know and i can team view with you if you like.

@audiodeviant it failed because there are entries in the XML that you don't have files for. Probably 'game album', game album default', etc. You have to go thru the XML icon part and delete the entries that you don't have icons for.
You put your VAG files in the folder with the icons. Make sure their names are the same as the names in the XML.
In the part of the XML where you put the name of the theme and your name, etc. delete the line called 'mtime' too. I might have already did it, i'm not sure. Also rename your RAF to 'anim-1' (i think that's what i put in the XML).
Basically the file names have to match the names in the XML.

@audiodeviant - Just copy the part of my XML that starts and ends with 'setable' into your XML.
The names of the VAGs in my XML are something like 'se_optionmenu_1.vag', 'se_cancel_1.vag', etc.
It will use the same VAG for left and right, so you only need the 5 VAGs.
Make sure the sounds are short like 1 or 2 sec if you are using all 5 sounds. (The less sounds you use the longer the other sounds can be). If they are too long your theme won't compile.

@uLtRaMa6nEt1c ok well i will do that, last time i named them the id name in the setable lol , rather than the actual vag name .. noob my vags are well under 2sec. so this should work .. yay thanks man you rock ... and also thanks RADZ u LEGEND

Ok i have added sounds the problem is you had to bigger vag files i added vag 1,2,3 but then 4,5 caused error so you need smaller vags i use 1-2 sec tops but the 3 vags are added and working so you can see how it should look. I have pm you the folder :).
