- find and manage audio files -

The search tool allows you to browse your audio files in a different manner as the folder browser. You can type any keyword in the text box to retrieve the corresponding file from either one of your local drives or a previously scanned CD.

search tool

Exactly the same way you can load songs from the music window, you can drag and drop files from the search tool subwindow to any of the desks. You can also use the playlist subwindow, located in the right side of the search window.

Type in the search text box the first letters of the author name or the song name of the file you look for and AtomixMP3 will find it instantly.

To use the search tool, you must already have an audio database to search in, you must have scanned your hard drive first.

It can scan your local drive for audio files and manage several CDs, or removable devices.

scan local drive

Scan local drive : scans one or more of your locan drives, floppy or CDs for audio files, and add them to your audio database.

search audio files on local drives

Select the drive you want to scan, the files format you wish to add to your audio database (.MP3 or .WAV) and click OK to start scanning.
The perform axtended analysis scans each audio file rythm structure, the same way AtomixMP3 analyses a song whan it is played. This process is faster than playing each of your audio files, but may require some time to proceed.
