I was wondering if it was possible to do bulk editing for sounds, for instance changing the attribution for multiple files at once rather than having to go into each file individually. If anyone knows a way to do this please let me know.

Thanks

This could be a good feature, so you can edit all or multiple sounds at once so it saves time and relieves frustration I know I have the same problem(Especially with tags, but also with descriptions)

Long time no see

Having second thoughts eh?

There is no way to batch edit file attributes unfortunately, but it is definitely an important feature that's missing from the API. I guess whoever designed it didn't realise people change their minds on a large scale.

On the other hand, it is probably best not to change licenses from CC0 to CCBY or NC. Because I do sound post production for advertising and sometimes pull a couple public domain sounds, I worry that the author will change the license and then somehow discover it's use within a commercial video and then demand all sorts of things.
