I recently uploaded a large collection of piano samples and added them to a sample pack here <http://www.freesound.org/people/neatonk/packs/9133/>. I downloaded all of the sounds in this pack via the freesound API and came across an ID in the packs 'sounds' collection that does not exist and does not belong in the pack. How can I get rid of this extra ID and where might it have come from?
The pack id is 9133. There should be 173 sounds in the pack, but 174 are listed including the bad sound id.
The sound failed to process ( which is logical as it isn't a sound but rather a ZIP file :) ), nor is it moderated yet (which is logical because it failed processing).
However it does mean that we are returning unprocessed, unmoderated sounds in the API, something which isn't entirely correct :-D

as Bram says, there is a sound that failed processing, and there is a bug in the API as we are not preventing unprocessed/unmoderated sounds to be returned. We will have a look into that as soon as possible.
I have deleted the sound for the moment so it does not appear in the pack sounds list through the api. However, you'll have to upload and describe it again in a valid format (not a zip file). Looks like you choose the wrong file when uploading!
Thank you for your understanding and for uploading these amazing sounds!

Thanks for your help Bram and Frederic. Freesound is a great resource and I'm happy to be able to contribute to it with sounds and bug reports (and maybe bug fixes once I get my Python up to speed).
If anyone is interested, I'm currently working on a project called Overtone<http://overtone.github.com>, which uses the freesound-api to help users find samples to make music with. The piano samples I uploaded will be used for a sampled-piano instrument that is included in the project.
Thanks again!
