Sound file previewing and organising...

Not entirely on-topic, but I was looking for a tool to audition sound files easily.

I eventually found Aural Probe and it’s fantastic, on Windows 7 anyway.

It does so much more too and I’m blown away, and it’s free! :o :D

https://sourceforge.net/projects/auralprobe/

There may be other apps around like this but this is the dog’s knees.

Cheers

It looks promising, esp. on organizing part. I have Media browser in Cubase, but never use it for organizing/previewing purpose - it's too monstrous D)
Should try this one.
Thanks for good finding, Spogg!

Cheers

Spogg, I use Sonic Explorer by ProXL for auditioning and previewing music loops and one shots on my Windows 7 PC. Not as fancy as the Aural Probe you reference but it played a lot of different types of audio formats. However, when I went to the author's website, it is shut down and the download is no longer available from KVRAudio:

Might be able to find it archived on the internet or Wayback Internet Archive website.

Aural Probe (a truly great name) supports the following file types:
WAV, AIFF, FLAC, MP3, WMA and OGG.

If you know what you’re doing (which I don’t), you can also search using Regular Expressions.
