INTRODUCTION
TO HARBOR AUDIO MANAGER
The Harbor Audio Manager
(“Harbor”) is a unique and powerful suite of tools for playing,
organizing and managing digital audio files stored on your Windows98 or
Windows2000 computer and computer network.
Designed for digital audio
professionals and serious digital audio hobbyists, Harbor's
full-featured tools are integrated into a fast, fun and easy-to-use
interface which works with a multitude of audio file formats including
WAV, MP3, MIDI, AU, AIFF and SND.
All of the integrated tools
included within this single application are available on two main
display windows, the Launcher
window and the Playlist
window. The roster of tools includes:
QUICK
LAUNCHER
Keeps up to twenty of your favorite or most
used audio clips in “Quick Launch” presets, allowing you to play
back any of these twenty files with just a single mouse click or
keyboard function key press. Keep your favorite songs, station IDs or
sound effects just a click or key press away.
LAUNCH
GROUPS TOOL
Organize your audio files into a fully
customizable “Explorer-style” tree view organizer. Group your files
by artist, sponsor, file type, subject, purpose or any type of grouping
you desire for fast and easy playback access to any or all of your audio
files with just a couple of easy mouse clicks.
DB
VIEWER
Harbor automatically maintains a fully
searchable inventory and database of all digital audio files and audio
playlist files on your computer and computer network. Use Harbor's DB
Viewer for fast and easy one-click “drill-down” access to all of
your audio files by file type or storage location (or both!). The DB
Viewer allows you find, playback and view all these details for any
audio file anywhere on your network within seconds via a clickable
display that is ridiculously easy to use.
SEARCH
ENGINE
Use the DB Viewer's powerful built-in
search engine to quickly find any audio files on your computer or
network based on your own custom database notes, standard file
attributes, and "chunk" information embedded in the audio
files themselves. Simply type in full or partial words, names, phrases
etc. into a single search box, and Harbor's smart fuzzy search engine
will display any and all audio files on your network or PC that match,
putting the best matches at the top of the list.
PLAYLIST
EDITOR/PLAYER
A full-featured, Winamp-compatible playlist
editor/player/jukebox allowing you to create, edit, manage or playback
any and all of your audio playlists from a single screen. All of your
playlists are listed on one screen; just click on a playlist to view its
contents, edit it or play it back. And all playlists created or
edited in Harbor are fully compatible with Winamp or any other
application that accepts Winamp-compatible playlist files; no
"exporting" of files out of Harbor is necessary like it is in
many other jukebox players.
WAVEFORM
EDITOR
Harbor can link to your favorite sound
editing program. With the click of one button, you can launch any
waveform editor program such as Sound Forge or Cool Edit Pro, and in
most cases even have the audio file currently displayed in Harbor
automatically loaded into the editor when it was launched.
