And all this for free!

Import, Monitor & Enjoy!

Import/drag files or folders directly to Explorer and categorize them according to the Universal Category System; make use of the incredible I/O Manager or empower your listening experience to the fullest with Bass management.

Find It In seconds!

Use several organization options to find the perfect file in seconds (universal category system, playlist creation, artist pages, folders, among many others).

Audition your files while looking at waveforms, channels, sample rate, descriptions, categories, formats, peak, energy, rating, and much more!

Your Options Are Endless

Create search tags by category, playlists, folder paths, flagged audios, star ratings, sounds that you've most used in the past, waveform preview, metadata, personalized notes or even audio file properties such as Sample Rate, File Format, Audio Format or sound's brightness (centroid).
