Audio Browser

The Audio Browser lets you browse the songs from your iTunes music library, audio files from iLife Sound Effects, and audio files from any Finder folder you choose to add. Drag songs from the Audio Browser to the audio track of the Storyboard/Timeline to add them to your slideshow.

DRM protected audio files that were purchased at the iTunes Music Store can be used in your slideshow for live presentations (provided that your computer is authorized to play those audio files). However, Apple prohibits exporting these songs to QuickTime movies. For this reason, those songs will be removed when sharing a slideshow as QuickTime movie, including DVD or YouTube.

Click the Audio icon in the Toolbar. The popup menu at the top lists your iTunes music library and all iTunes playlists.

Live Searching

Use the search field to search your iTunes Library for a particular song. Enter a part of the song title, the name of an artist or album. The table will list only those songs matching the search term.

Get Info

Select an audio file from the list and click the Get Info button to display the Audio Info panel.

Previewing Audio

When you play audio by double-clicking an audio file or selecting an audio file and pressing the Play button an LCD display appears below the Audio Browser which allows you to preview audio files.

Browser View Types

Select to display the audio files in your browser in icon, list, or combo view (a combination of both icon and list).

Icon Size

Drag the Icon Size slider to enlarge or decrease the size of the audio icons displayed in the browser. This slider is not available in List view.
