(I could live without the tempo and transpose). Rectify the stutter, add an option to send midi to IAC instead of Quicktime, add tempo and transpose controls and it'd be perfect! Only problem I've noticed is that (like Rondo) it stutters when loop is on. With it's previewing and tagging system AudioFinder is well set up. Seems to me there's a gap in the market (I'm not sure if other DAW's can do it). I can't find any other apps that come close. Major sync issues in Logic and it requires clicking on each new midi file with the mouse (arrow keys don't work).

I'd be embarrassed if I developed EZPlayer Pro ( ). Sweet MIDI ( ) does loop files seamlessly but won't allow you to keep the loop button on when using it's playlist (you have to turn jukebox off, turn loop on, turn jukebox back on and blah blah.).

When loop is enabled in Rondo's playlist playback isn't seamless. Rondo ( ) almost succeeds but the need to preview files in loop mode is essential. Adding further files to this folder and making it accessible is a pain). Placing midi files into Logic's take folders isn't feasible either (files have to be dragged onto a track from the browser one at a time, then placed into a folder in which they lose their names. I find it hard to believe that no one has built a decent midi preview app. This is my biggest feature request (with rewire close behind I think :-) ) because it is the only bottleneck in my workflow. These features would help us out tremendously, anyone else feels the same way?

ProTools already imports the file, I understand some people might find it useful, give us the option at least?ДЈ) Automatic scan new items - not sure if there is an easy way to do this, but we go out and record new content all the time, bring them back in, edit them put them on the network and we have to rescan our entire library, which takes hours to do there needs to be an easier way to do this.Д¤) (This ties in with the previous point) when we delete an item off the server the metadata search still finds these and thinks they are offline or something, we've tried rescanning the library but they still appear - and can't delete these manually either - threw audioFinder. What we'd like is to put those clips somewhere else locally, cachГ© these and then dump them when audioFinder is closed. This is particularly annoying if you're working on a server and it creates clips on that server. As a game sound designer it's very useful to be able to quickly find sfx needed in my inventory, but I do have a few requests that I think will help out us sound designers a lot.ДЎ) Every time we make a selection in the 'audio quick look' and want to drop it on the time line we have to press the 'spot' button, any shortcut?Дў) After making the selection and putting it on the timeline, I notice that audioFinder creates a 'clip'. I use audioFinder every day, it's helped me out tremendously with my workflow. I just wish this was iTunes' database simplicity + your Viewer I think it's the best out there right now with Snapper by Audioease being the next in line.

I do really like the audio file viewer/player.

Just one big library with all of my stuff indexed, that's what we want in the end right? To be able to jump into the app, go to the search box and type in 'Bass line' and get an instant result, then flip through the results and get a playback. I should be able to just drag and drop a new folder from finder on the Main Library and have it import all of the meta data into a new sub-library or directly into the main-library. When you click on the Main Library, it should search everything you have, all sub-libraries, if you pick a sub-library it should narrow the search to just the sub-library. The Main Library should be everything, dozens of sub-libraries: I mean, scan vs import, these differ how exactly? And why do I have to keep rebuilding my main library? I think you should take some cue's from how iTunes is structured, it's simple and it works.

#Audiofinder vs snapper manual

Even after reading the manual and attempting a dozen different times to get everything set up I still find myself struggling to get a natural workflow out of it. I think that the biggest area of weirdness is with the library.

I really want to use AudioFinder but I find that the overall usability to be awkward and frankly kind of old-school.
