Re: Storing/organizing recordings on a mac?

I put a group of related recordings (perhaps just ones made on the
same day) in a folder, and add a text file describing the recordings.
The file is pretty much free form, but always includes the relevant
information about where and how the recording was made and what it
contains. That's all I need to do on my Mac, because Spotlight can
easily find the text files based on content, and the audio files are
in the same folder. It works for me. YMMV.
