[QUOTE="buoyo, post: 1052265, member: 154993"] Hi, I've been getting really frustrated recently with macs capabilities with file searching compared to windows.. I dont use iTunes and I don't have a photographic memory so am often looking for a word of an artists name or a word from the title of the album or perhaps from a track name. On windows I have never had a problem doing this search, its fairly quick (maybe not as quick as mac) but it will always come up with the file if the file (mp3 wav flac etc) or album folder has the word ive searched for. If i do the same search on a mac half the time nothing will come up and its very frustrating as I know its there but I still have to trawl through albums and mp3's to find it. Are there any programs for mac that have better file searching capabilities? Am I missing some feature already on Leopard that I dont know about? Sorry about the slight rant would really appreciate any help you can give! [/QUOTE]
