Every Windows PC has a sound scheme that applied to events in system and programs. When you startup Windows, insert a USB device, or receive a new e-mail… A corresponding pre-defined sound will appear.
Do you think there is still something missing? Mmm… How about the “Waiting time”?
You may have met the concept Elevator music, it refers to the gentle instrumental arrangements of popular music designed for playing in shopping malls, grocery stores, department stores, telephone systems (while the caller is on hold), cruise ships, airports, doctors’ and dentists’ offices, and elevators.
In Windows system, the “Waiting time” I have mentioned means the time while system copying files, waiting for archives to extract… It’s rather annoying to wait for the progress bar to complete its work, so why not employ an “Elevator Music” agent for such events?
Such creatively idea has been realized by a university student, with the software Instant Elevator Music.

Instant Elevator Music works with a surprisingly large number of programs, including:
- Windows Explorer: while copying/moving/deleting files
- Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox: while waiting for downloads to finish. It also works with the DownThemAll! Firefox extension.
- Microsoft Office and Visual Studio: while waiting for programs to load
- 7-Zip: while waiting for archives to extract
- TeraCopy: while waiting for files to copy/move
- Audacity: while waiting for music files to open/save
- Eclipse: while waiting for it to load, complete a build or refresh the workspace
- VMWare: while waiting for a virtual machine to resume
- Virtual PC: also while waiting for a virtual machine to resume
- TortoiseSVN: while waiting for a Subversion update/commit/checkout
- Most installers…
In fact, Instant Elevator Music will work with anything that shows a progress bar (that is, a rectangle which shows progress while you wait for things to happen).
Instant Elevator Music in Taskbar
Install and launch the tiny program, and you will hear the “Waiting time” music while system displaying progress bar, it plays the cute Mario’s Elevator by default.

You can double click the program icon to stop playing elevator music immediately, or right-click it to temporarily disable the function. Select “Settings” to adjust more configurations.
