Audio Browsing Quality Of Life

[MeakleMooharhar]

In order for this program to be powerful for browsing audio samples in particular. One should be able to see the waveform preview and click on a part of the wave form to hear a preview.

(The video I have attached is of FL Studio's built in file explorer, but this feature is standard in Ableton and many other DAW's and video editing software.)

Every time I Shift+Click on the waveform, it plays the file from where i just clicked.

I like to search through sample library's, and many of them are completely unorganized and have 8+ samples stored in each audio file. So I don't really know what's in the file until I've opened it up and listened to the whole thing, which is a headache on windows file explorer, because you need to open up VLC or media player to listen to it.

Recently I have been experimenting with using alternative DAW's for an alternative workflow experience, but using file explorer for browsing samples sucks. So I just end up having FL Studio open anyway, which defeats the purpose of trying to take a break from FL Studio.

The ability to tag and browse samples and preview specific sections of them would be incredibly powerful for any musician and video editor.
