Hi,
I think a tool for automatically generating credits for sounds could be useful.
Here’s how I imagine it working.

1)
I am working on a project. I download a lot of samples.

2)
Copy the list of file names of the samples I have used.

3)
Paste them into the “crediting tool”.

4)
The tool looks at each sample and generates a text file with the correct crediting for each file.
If one user is credited for multiple files, it handles this elegantly.
It only credits users who requested a credit per their license.
It flags any samples which have restrictive licenses (non-commercial use etc)

5)
I copy the text file and use it to credit on my project.

I think this would be very useful and would increase both the use of Freesound, and the chance of correct crediting.

Hi,
check the tool in this thread, it might help you:
