Sample Browser for windows? Shocked there is a lack of...

Hi all,

So I get dropouts using Sonar's media browser.  Even in small projects.  Anyway. I have 1000's of samples so the navigation is too basic.  So I've been looking for a good sample browser for windows.  Coincidently I've been looking to replace VSampler too but for windows, its seems to be a lack of decent options.


The closest thing i've seen to my perfect solution is ICE AUDIO'S - Audio Finder.  But its MAC only.  GGGRRRRRrrrr!

I crave it because besides its obvious search/tag/organize functions, it has the ability to audition samples via midi keyboard instantly.  No Softsampler import is needed.  Just search, click & audition as Sonar is running alongside.


Dang!  I've been looking for days now and nothing I have found has this midi auditioning function too.  Essential or at least the ability to pitch the auditioning in some way.

RESONIC's Audio player is the only thing that comes close but is still in development for windows.  Only 1 guy programming it.  I can't wait too long and need an alternative for cutting down the slog of searching 1000's of samples efficiently.


Please please please, if anyone has a windows solution or suggestion, let me know.


Save me from finger clicking arthritis quick!  ;< 

p.s. I appreciate all suggestions but to be precise, No double clicking/importing needed first.  & pitching ability.  There are 100's of programs/samplers with auditioning functions that don't have these abilitys so no need to mention any of them here.  Thanks. 

Not really an issue John.  I don't use it that often to warrant investigation.  Sonar runs well besides the fact.


Main aim in this post is to find a great alternatives.  Thanks though. 

Checked them out.  Very basic but thanks for suggestions.

Man I'm actually stunned that there is nothing to rival Iced Audios Audio for Windows platform.  What a gap here....


Common Windows programmers.  Where are you?

Yep had this too.

Never investigated it as I don't use media browser that much at all.

I've used it for .wav files and haven't had any issues.
I've used different preview assignments with no issues.

Try Samplesort.

good thread from software forum which discusses its merits

I'm glad to see that there is still some work being done on the program (I thought it had been abandoned) because I tried it in 2014 and liked it, but it crashed much too often to be useable (and it's still beta).
