Winamp - Sort of does what I want with enough wrestling - though the interface is a little retarded in the mind. MusikCube - Has facet view, does drag and drop, doesn't do multiple genres. I'm sure some foobar hacker could make it do what I want, but I don't have the time or energy.

Then that data doesn't work in the facets view, etc, etc. Need foo_custominfo to handle WAV format genre metadata. MediaMonkey 3 also supports multiple libraries, all the file formats under the sun, drag and drop to Ableton Live works good and it's totally free, woooo.Īnd here for your benefit are the results of my many media player experiences trying to find the right sample organization client:įoobar2000 v0.9.5 - Just. It's also really helpful rating samples that I use frequently. But doing keyword or keyword -> album is still a great improvement over simple directory hierarchies. But it doesn't - it shows any that are tagged drums OR any that are tagged kick. It doesn't work exactly as I want - I'd like to have two genre columns and be able to select, say "drums" and "kick" and have it exclusively display samples that are tagged "drums" AND "kick". MediaMonkey 3 adds support for multiple genres and a "track browser" similar to the one I like in foobar. One exhaustive search and some tireless tagging later, my sample library dreams are mostly realized. The buttons at the top are just for easy testing and the search does nothing. This way a sample doesn't have to belong to only one directory.Īlso drag and drop to most audio apps I've tried works fine, preferences are saved via XML. You can then click those tags to display the files tagged with them. The tags are saved and displayed in the lower left panel. If you right-click on files on the right side, you can enter tags (also known as labels and keywords). You can select folders in the tree on the upper left and you can select files on the right side and they'll play. WAV files, saving them to a local database. It indexes a directory and all its subdirectories for. With a lot of obsessive struggling and swears, all the main functionality is there (in “sloppy learning-windows-programming-as-i-go†style): Last couple of days have been a flurry of making a tagging (aka non-hierarchical – delicious/ flickr style) audio sample organizer. One of the nice things about finishing the new album is that I can indulge my useless creative impulses again without feeling quite as guilty.
