Indexing Your Personal Media Files
The audio files that come with Soundtrack Pro are already indexed and ready to search.
If you have a collection of audio files that are tagged with compatible metadata,
including filename, genre, keyword, date, and so on, you can index them so you can
search for them in the Soundtrack Pro Search tab.
For instructions on indexing your media files, see the Soundtrack Pro User Manual.
Where’s Your Media?
Soundtrack Pro can process the following file types: AIFF, CAF, WAVE, Sound Designer II,
NeXT sound files, and QuickTime movies. Soundtrack Pro can also decompress and
process compressed file formats, including MP3 and AAC, and play QuickTime movies.
If a file you want to use is not in one of the supported file types, you can convert it.
An easy way to convert a file is to open it in its original application and then export it
as one of the Soundtrack Pro–compatible file types listed here.
