i click the play button , i listen to the sound , when the sound is finished , i expect a file the size mentioned to be there, but there isnt any...how come? and now because i cannot find the file , i have to download the sound using the download button...

I'm not sure what youre asking. Could you explain a bit more. When you play a sound that has nothing to do with file size...meaning you shouldn't be seeing a file size. Sounds more like your are talking about uploading not down loading

Creeping, you need to understand that Playing a sound here via the Play button, is a totally different action to Downloading via the Download button.

Different buttons, different jobs.

"Play" allows you to hear a slightly low-fi version of a sound so you can then decide if you want to download the real thing.

Hope this clarifies a bit.
