Re: Storing/organizing recordings on a mac?

Hello,

I was wondering about exactly the same a few weeks ago when I decided
to organize my field recordings and also looked around in this list
archives and couldn't find a definitive answer (beside the overpriced,
from my perspective, SoundMiner).

At the end I purchased AudioFinder http://www.icedaudio.com/ and found
it very helpful. The only downside is that AFAIK there is no way of
editing metadata but sorting recordings using folders can help. I will
be also using the file's comments section as someone already
mentioned. The editing features of AudioFinder are also a great plus
as well as the fact of being able to quickly look at the waveforms.

Cheers,

Hector Centeno
