I have hundreds of Acid Pro 7 project files. Is there any way of searching projects by Key or Tempo or any other useful metadata?

Hey Brian.... got any snow yet?

Windows doesn't search metadata natively (at least so far as I know through Win7), but there are some low cost or freeware add-ons that can. I want to say the name of one of them was "Taglib" or something similar.

Hi Marty,

No snow yet but it's on the way. Hate the stuff. Anyway, I'm not even sure if Acid even puts out any searchable project metadata about tempo/key information. And since I've been recording live musicians, not even loop metadata is useful. I should have put the project info in a text file in the project folder itself but who knew? Maybe one of the Sony guys knows a trick.
