Pirch Sound Exchange

 

Pirch Sound Exchange was/is an IRC chat channel that was started back in 1997. Pirch chat client had a media player and the interface was used during chat to play sound files to everybody in the chatroom. It was fun and in a short period of time you would find that your collection of midi and waves had grown on your harddrive. We had several regulars that visited the chatroom every day and some were known to be there almost 24/7. For some reason, we let the Pirch Sound Exchange channel die after a few years. Back then it was dialup and slow transfer rates. Sharing the sound files took time, but we all enjoyed the laughs they provided. Nowdays with broadband, one would assume that PSE would be even more fun than ever. A new channel has been registered on starchat. So, get out there and download the PIRCH client, enable the events for sound sharing, and log in to start enjoying it. Who knows some of the old PSE users might find us someday.

You can download a client from starchat that has some of the entries needed already there. In order to see any channels on that server, you will have to register your nick and verify your email address. So don't give up.
We are out there!
We have the sound files.
Its up to you to find us!

For help setting up PircH, please read below for step by step instructions.
