About this asset

Note: This tool will eventually be offered as part of a package of Editor Utilities, but I don't know how soon. If you do buy this now any amount paid will be deducted from the package amount later only to a maximum discount (if you had bought multiple individule tools) that the package is free. But, if you buy the package later you get all the tools therein plus any new ones added over time.

Tool Document

Note on Expectations

Sound File Previewer is a editor utility window that lets you instantly browse and audition every audio clip inside any folder in your project — just drag the folder in and use your arrow keys to step through the list, hearing each clip play the moment you land on it. No clicking Play over and over, no hunting through the Project panel — just fast, keyboard-driven audio browsing right inside your layout.

Key Features

  • Audition your whole library in seconds — arrow-key through dozens of clips faster than you could find and click them one at a time. Ideal for evaluating a new sound effects pack the moment you import it.
  • Perfect for rapid iteration — keeping this window open beside your scene while swapping footsteps, UI clicks, or explosion variants lets you pick sounds without ever breaking your flow.
  • Every audio format supported — WAV, OGG, MP3, AIFF, AIF, FLAC, XM, MOD, IT, and S3M. If it's a valid format for import, Sound File Previewer will find and play it.
  • Non-modal and fully dockable — behaves exactly like any other panel. Dock it, float it, drag it to a second monitor.
  • Real-time regex filtering — type any regular expression to narrow the list instantly. The file count updates live. Invalid regex is highlighted so you always know why the list changed.
  • Copy any file path in one click — right-click any row and choose “Copy Full File Path” to copy the complete OS path to your clipboard.
  • Drag any clip directly where you need it — drag straight from the list onto an AudioClip field in the Inspector, a GameObject in the Hierarchy, or any folder in the Project window. When dropping into the Project window, the file is copied to the destination — your original is never moved or removed.
  • Zero scene setup, zero runtime impact — a pure Editor tool. It adds nothing to your scenes, prefabs, or builds.
