m Double-click the disk or folder you want to open.
You can move back through the previous locations in the Favorites tab using the
Forward and Back buttons, or through the levels of the file hierarchy using the Path
pop-up menu.
Using Search to Locate Files
Using Search, you can search for media files to add to your project. Search has two
views: Column view and Button view. You choose which view to display by clicking the
Column View or Button View button in the upper-left area of the window. In both
views, the files matching your search criteria appear in the Search Results area, along
with columns displaying additional information for tagged files. You can sort these
columns by clicking the heading on top of each column. You can also perform text
searches in both views, and refine your searches.
If you use Apple Loops or other tagged audio files in a project, you can search based
on a variety of criteria, including musical instrument, genre, time signature, mood
descriptor, and scale type. You can also search using specific keywords.
