Hi again. 1 year ago, I did share some of Sound Ideas's Production Music Library in 96kbps on this forum (around more than 400 tracks now, all in full length and alternative underscore only) (you can visit https://librarymusicthemes.com/index.php?topic=5640.msg47120#msg47120 if you didn't.)

I want to write an instructions about how I could find those, but I'm too busy. Life and work makes me not even have times to visit this site often, not even searching any more tracks.

A few days ago I found out that PDInfo (the only sites that still sold some Sound Ideas PML tracks) is currently not allow any downloading order. That's when I think until PDInfo download order returns, this guide might help some member here.

Anyway, before we continue, please be noticed that all Sound Ideas tracks have been removed from Audioblocks (now Storyblocks). That's why this guide available.

DISCLAIMER: THIS INSTRUCTIONS SHOULD ONLY BE USED FOR EDUCATIONAL AND RESEARCH PURPOSE.

First, on Wayback Machine, just search any old Audioblocks sites like this and visit one of them:
hxxxs://web.archive.org/web/*/http://audioblocks.com/stock-audio/[a-z]*
hxxxs://web.archive.org/web/*/http://audioblocks.com/search

Suggestions: this trick only available for sites captured from Nov 2014 until 2019.

Seconds, looking at any tracks available on that sites and see if that tracks is available from Sound Ideas
Please note: Sound Ideas tracks on that sites also contains The Mix and Stock Music.
List of tracks from Sound Ideas's PML could be found here: hxxxs://web.archive.org/web/20100522033431/http://www.sound-ideas.com/tab/pml.tab

Now you should open the Developer Tools on your browser.

Third, to make sure that you are actually looking at any Sound Ideas tracks, point the mouse to the track title and you can see the links like that: hxxxs://web.archive.org/web/[capdate]/http://audioblocks.com/stock-audio/[name-track]-[code-track].html
Sound Ideas tracks from Audioblocks has code tracks from around 695xx to 85xxx (I don't remember).

Hover at the waveform of that tracks and at the Developer Windows you should see the mp3preview links of it.
Its format should be: hxxxs://web.archive.org/web/[capdate]/hxxxs://d1490khl9dq1ow.cloudfront.net/music/mp3preview/[name-track]_[8 random characters code].mp3
Just copy the cloudfront address and anything belong it (hxxxs://d1490khl9dq1ow.cloudfront.net/music/mp3preview/[name-track]_[8 random characters code].mp3).

You can also using View Page Source and find all tracks with that cloudfront address (use Ctrl+F to find it quicker).

That's all. Hope it could help.
