show all files of subfolders snowleopard

[mookee]

hi

need to see all my audio files from the musikfolder. as they are within subfolders of course, i need to get them all "extracted" in a list fiew... (anyway, but for completeness, in order to import them all at once into fluke-itunes, which doesnt work with folders, only with the files themselfs as it seems..)

i tried different search tricks like

is file+name is ""

or

is .flac

etc.

not that it didint work at all, but it only showed me 200 of 8000 files with no comprehensible preference to me..

any ideas? i need the files drag- and dropable, no textlist of them!

) thanks

Hi,

in Finder, select your Music folder, then hit : Cmd + f

Against "Search", select : "Music"

Select : "Kind"...is..."Music"

Alternatively, in Finder, enter : "kind:music", without the quotes, in the search field.

Take a look at this : http://hpics.li/99f854b and : http://hpics.li/cb964f5

hi

thanks for that!

unfortunatly that only gives me (same as my former trieouts) only 400 of actually 8000 files , i dont know why..

BIG"?" ...
[doublepost=1460723604][/doublepost]if i try to find just one spezific song of those i asume to be not part of the 400 founded ones , finder doesnt find it either btw.

but its not about flac or mp3, both are part of the 400 founded..

i dont get it, )

You might try re-indexing your hard drive, and verifying that your home folder or Music folder is not excluded from Spotlight (System Preferences / Spotlight / Privacy).

See here how to re-index your Macintosh HD partition : https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201716

You can also use the Terminal, see here for more infos : http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/17/rebuild-spotlight-index/
