I have a fairly sizeable sound effects library and years ago I wrote a script to pull in desrciptions from the PDFs that came with the libraries into descriptions in iTunes (and added all the files to iTunes of course) so that I could use it to search for stuff, preview and then just click ‘Show in Finder’ when I needed to drag-and-drop them into a project (FCPX).
I’ve discovered this morning that I’ve accidentally lost the iTunes library file somehow so while I have all the files intact, the descriptions no longer are searchable in iTunes (or ‘Music’ as it’s now known).
Does anyone have any recommendations for an audio file manager (OSX)? I’m going to have to do some work again (if I can remember how I did it!) to get the meta data into Apple Music app so I thought I may as well see if there’s a better alternative.
