+ To enable the Freesound search engine inside Ardour, you must build
+ Ardour with the option FREESOUND=yes, and you must have the "curl"
+ library installed. This is currently optional but may later become a
+ standard feature of Ardour.

+ To download files from Freesound, you must first register for a
+ username and password on the freesound website. Enter this information
+ into the text entry boxes, enter your tags to search for, and then
+ click "Start Downloading". Ardour will begin downloading files, and
+ the "Start Downloading" button will change to say "Cancel". Clicking
+ the "Cancel" button will wait until the currently downloading file is
+ finished, then the button will switch back to "Start Downloading". The
+ button will also say "Start Downloading" once Ardour has downloaded
+ all of the files that match the given tag. In the future there may be
+ better indication of the file progress and better filtering on the
+ filetypes that are downloaded.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If you later search for the same terms, you will see that the files
+ appear in the list more quickly, because any files in the search set
+ that are already downloaded won't have to be downloaded again.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Sounds that are downloaded from Freesound will automatically be given
+ tags in Ardour that match their tags in the Freesound database. This
+ means that once they are downloaded, Ardour can search for the local
+ files very quickly using the "Search Tags" tab.
