Ifoundasound is one of the best solutions for working with digital sound archives.
Search through your archive, listen to the sounds and drag them in to your favourite audio application.

Having your sound archive on hundreds of CDs is unpractical, a much better solution is having the sounds on a hard drive, as audio files. Copying all your sound effects to disk will speed up your work flow significantly and make the way you work much more fluid.
When you have ripped all your SFX-CDs (if not take a look here), you now need some way of searching and listening to the sounds, this is where ifoundasound can help you.
ifoundasound builds an index of your audio files and can search through them at high speed.
You can listen to each sound, and copy the ones you like to your work folder or simply drag them in to your editing software.
ifoundasound comes i to versions, the free Standard version, and the comercial Professional version.
Please download one of them and try it. ifoundasound has been developed together with many audio professionals, so if you have any input please join the forum or send us email.
