...Is there any way I could get it as an mp3 or something like that? I really miss it because that sound is so cool and all I hear now is the stupid Windows XP sound.

If you don't already have it, download the Mactracker program (an invaluable source of Apple hardware info).

There are some sounds inside (in .m4a format) in this folder: Mactracker.app/Contents/Resources/Chimes/

-HI-

[ "reencarnation" or reincarnation? ]

In case you didn't know (and Hal left it out of his post), control-click Mactracker.app and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Then, you'll get to the rest of the path.

ok! Got it. Thanks!
Edit: The TAM's chime is Cool!

Here's an MP3 file of it, which is linked to an article called The Mac Startup Sound. While I was searching, I also found an article titled Early Apple sound designer Jim Reekes corrects Sosumi myth. Jim's site has a page about the chord's name.

Thank you Dave! I wonder if there will be a new Mac chime eventually?

The Chime makes my Cat meow! lol
