I'm using Sound Manager for the first time in a year, and trying the right-click option, "Select In Instrument." According to the manual, that should make the sound I've chosen "instantly accessible" on my NS2. I assumed that meant I could play that sound immediately, although that's not the case. Am I doing something wrong, or did I misinterpret the manual?

What I'm trying to do is play the sounds I've downloaded (to my hard drive) to see if I WANT to store them in my NS2. Is that possible, or do I have to load them into memory first?

Not quite. Sound manager selects sounds already uploaded to your NS2 and allows you to play it. Yes, it would be useful to be able to audition a sound before uploading. Sound Manager and Sample Editor aren't the best pieces of software around, but they're getting better from the first versions.
