Otojiten / 音辞典

[DoctorDoodle19]

This is a music and sound effect library I've known for a long time. it's owned by Datacraft, who also made a photo and media collection, I think it is called Sozaijiten.
Many people I've noticed in places have requested these albums, as the sound effects used in them or the short tracks listed in some of their music CDs were featured in some sort of popular media.
For me, I haven't been too into this library, but I have become more and more interested over the past few weeks.

Otobox:
I have no idea how many albums are in this series, but from what I can read, there are two.
Otojiten VOL. 1 - Impact
Otojiten VOL. 2 - Basic
There also seems to be another collection called SoundBible 1200. I have no idea how many are in this series.

I own a mix of stuff from this library:
Full albums - Volumes 1, 2, 5, 10, and 21
and a bunch of random tracks, 3 from volume 12, and 1 from volume 7.

Nice find! Am I correct that the series is near-consistently stylized "音・辞典"?

I had a look at vol. 1, and see mention of something called "Moonpocket" and "Datacraft Co., Ltd." which I assume is maybe the company/companies behind the label?
It's also marked "Copyright 1998", so I assume the library was launched around that time.

Releases are marked "著作権フリーデジタル音素材集" which seems to translate to something like "Royalty-free digital sound library".

Yes, I forgot that Moonpocket was also a part of this library.

I think they've both gone bankrupt or just stopped making stuff, even though their media is pretty popular today.
Reminds me a lot of Media Works Japan, who had various different libraries: their music library, photo libraries, and some sort of CD burn program I believe.
