7.1.2 Finding Audio Files on your System

The Folder Browser includes a feature designed to help locate audio ﬁles on your

system. Thus, using the built-in Folder Browser may be more eﬃcient than browsing to

folders using the operating-system pop-up browser (accessible via the Browse button at

the top of the section). This feature works as follows:

• Folders that contain audio ﬁles in any of their sub-folders are displayed with a

full-colour blue folder icon.

• Folders that contain audio ﬁles in their top level are displayed in full colour along

with the number of audio ﬁles that they contain.

• Folders that do not contain audio ﬁles in their top level, or any of their sub-folders

are displayed with an empty folder icon.

This feature can be CPU intensive. If the root of the Folder Browser contains a signiﬁcant

number of sub-folders, or is located on a slow external storage device, the background

scanning of all folders in the Folder Browser’s tree can be correspondingly slow.

If this becomes a hindrance on your system, the background scan can be disabled in the

Settings tab, by deselecting Folder Browser: Background scan for audio ﬁles.

With this feature disabled, all folders will be displayed with a full-colour folder icon, and

the number of ﬁles in each folder will not be shown.
