Ok thanks you technicians on finding a way on how to get rid of those stupid processing failed files but something new has came up with kind of the same topic.

Ok I just tried to upload 3 different sounds on site today and they are all WAV files and they failed to process, after I uploaded them it said something like: You sounds will not show up until you describe them but I already did describe them and when I click the links they give me to get to my sounds they already are described. Two of them are in one pack and the last one is in another and I don't know what's up and I've never experienced this before and I did exactly the same stuff I always do when I upload sounds and I've tried to reupload them but then same thing pops up. Help would be really appreciated thanks in advance.

Actually this is exactly what it said:

"You've uploaded these files, but they won't appear on the website until you've described them. Select the files you want to describe and follow the instructions on the following pages. You can also delete files by selecting them and pressing the "delete" button."

Hope this helps.

A better look at what it may look like:

•File Sci-Fi Reload.wav has been described and is awaiting moderation.
•File Reverse.wav has been described and is awaiting moderation.
•File Reload.wav has been described and is awaiting moderation.
•You have described all the selected files.

Describe

Pick files

You've uploaded these files, but they won't appear on the website until you've described them. Select the files you want to describe and follow the instructions on the following pages. You can also delete files by selecting them and pressing the "delete" button.
•Your uploaded files (select all)

I just got done trying to upload them one at a time but all of them still failed and I don't get that they work perfectly on my laptop but not on the site and the site supports WAV.

You are not alone, I am experiencing the same issue.

Any admins on here, can you please provide info as to what is going on?
Kind regards, thanks.

Seems to crash when the system processes the sounds after the sounds were uploaded and described. Tried several times with two computers and different formats.

lol, at least I am not alone that mean it is more likely that they will know the answer

ditto ... " Processing state: Failed x " after upload and description.

click the x to get rid of that and that way u can reupload it in the future, and join the club

Same issue happens to me.

Still not working for me; tried the flash and non-flash interface; tried different computers; tried different file types; tried msIE and chrome...no luck. Has anyone been able to get passed this?

I have tried all sound formats that are available to this site and none work pass this issue.
This appears to be something their obviously working on as no one has uploaded anything today.

Upload still knackered , " ...uploaded on Dec. 12, 2013, 6:58 a.m. Processing state: Failed x"

Just to let everybody know, a statement is due to be issued on the freesound blog; appearing on the front page.

Anyway, the problem has been identified thankfully and resolution is under way.
Check the home page for a post in the near future.

Thanks for your patience ladies and gentlemen.

Hey, is it working now because I just noticed that there are sounds dated from today. I hope I am right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes uploads are now working. There is however a slight backlog of sounds to be moderated; as expected.

So it may take longer than we would like, lets have patience remember guys there must be like a 1000 or more people wanting to upload sounds at the moment.

The amount of people wanting to upload hasn't changed.
