Re: Searching by bit rate
Hi Hank, to search by genre, you can use search terms such as genre:rock and genre:classical. Note spelling of genre. David. original message: hello what about johnrahs? To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

hello what about johnrahs? - Original Message - From: "David Bailes" To: Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 4:16 AM Subject: Re: Searching by bit rate Hi Barry, You should be able to do this with the advanced query syntax available in windows: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/technicalresources/advquery.mspx For example to search for files with 320k bit rate, the search term to enter would be bitrate:320kbps. If you wanted to narrow it down to mp3 files rather than any music file, then you have to add the term *.mp3 (just separate the terms by a space). In Vista and Windows 7 you can use this syntax in the search box in windows explorer. With the windows explorer window open, just press ctrl+e to move to this search box. By default, all folders below the current location are also searched. I'm not very familiar with using the syntax in windows xp. Apparently you have to use Windows Desktop Search, but I've never used it.

Re: Searching by bit rate
this will not work in xp. for some reason xp sees the : the same as the \an thinks that whatever is before the colon is the folder that it should be searching in. - Original Message - From: "David Bailes" To: Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 4:16 AM Subject: Re: Searching by bit rate Hi Barry, You should be able to do this with the advanced query syntax available in windows: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/desktopsearch/technicalresources/advquery.mspx For example to search for files with 320k bit rate, the search term to enter would be bitrate:320kbps.
