AudioFinder Evolves …
AudioFinder [ver.4.5.4] by Iced Audio continues to impress. This is an excellent media file asset management system that offers a host of useful features. This application supports advanced indexing, cataloging, editing, and processing.
Recently the AudioFinder UI has been completely redesigned. Specifically, the lower AudioViewer is now temporarily docked to the file structure display. Both modules can be operated independently. The SampleEditor is accessible by simply clicking the waveform. A Quicktime Movie viewer has been added as well.
AudioFinder offers support for Apple Loops and handles batch file conversions for many formats including: AIFF, WAV, M4A and SD2 files. You can also encode/decode FLAC files and encode MP3’s. Plugin integration is seamless, and the incorporated preset management system is top notch. All media files are easily accessible due to the advanced integration of the MAC OSX Finder.
AudioFinder continues to evolve. The developer is in touch with his user-base, and he continues to enhance the application based on user suggestions and feedback. I believe there is a free version available that is limited to basic sound browsing. The full version is priced at $70 US. In my opinion this is an excellent piece of software that is worth every penny.

How does Audiofinder stack up against Sample Manager?
Hi,
I don’t have experience using Sample Manager. However I know the guy’s over at Audiofile Engineering are developing excellent applications.
In terms of any noticeable differences, I believe AudioFinder provides a much more robust indexing and cataloging system.
I’ll read into the Sample Manager specs and maybe try out the demo.
I am running AudioFinder. I can help with specific questions …
