1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
   The Harbor Audio Manager ("Harbor") is a unique and powerful suite of tools for playing, 
   organizing and managing digital audio files stored on your Windows98 or Windows2000 
   computer and computer network.

   Designed for digital audio professionals and serious digital audio hobbyists, Harbor's 
   full-featured tools are integrated into a fast, fun and easy-to-use interface which works 
   with a multitude of audio file formats including WAV, MP3, MIDI, AU, AIFF and SND.

   The roster of integrated tools included within this single application include:

   QUICK LAUNCHER
   Keeps up to twenty of your favorite or most used audio clips in "Quick Launch" presets, 
   allowing you to play back any of these twenty files with just a single mouse click or 
   keyboard function key press. Keep your favorite songs, station IDs or sound effects just 
   a click or key press away.
   
   LAUNCH GROUPS TOOL
   Organize your audio files into a fully customizable "Explorer-style" tree view organizer. 
   Group your files by artist, sponsor, file type, subject, purpose or any type of grouping 
   you desire for fast and easy playback access to any or all of your audio files with just
   a couple of easy mouse clicks.
  
   DB VIEWER
   Harbor automatically maintains a fully searchable inventory and database of all digital 
   audio files and audio playlist files on your computer and computer network. Use Harbor's 
   DB Viewer for fast and easy one-click "drill-down" access to all of your audio files 
   by file type or storage location (or both!). The DB Viewer allows you find, playback and 
   view all these details for any audio file anywhere on your network within seconds via a 
   clickable display that is ridiculously easy to use.
  
   SEARCH ENGINE
  Use the DB Viewer's powerful built-in search engine to quickly find any audio files on 
   your computer or network based on your own custom database notes, standard file 
   attributes, and "chunk" information embedded in the audio files themselves. Simply type 
   in full or partial words, names, phrases etc. into a single search box, and Harbor's 
   smart fuzzy search engine will display any and all audio files on your network or PC 
   that match, putting the best matches at the top of the list.
  
   PLAYLIST EDITOR/PLAYER
   A full-featured, Winamp-compatible playlist editor/player/jukebox allowing you to 
   create, edit, manage or playback any and all of your audio playlists from a single 
   screen. All of your playlists are listed on one screen; just click on a playlist to 
   view its contents, edit it or play it back.  And all playlists created or edited in 
   Harbor are fully compatible with  Winamp or any other application that accepts 
   Winamp-compatible playlist files; no "exporting" of files out of Harbor is necessary.
  
   WAVEFORM EDITOR
   Harbor can link to your favorite sound editing program. With the click of one button, 
   you can launch any waveform editor program such as Sound Forge or Cool Edit Pro, and in 
   most cases even have the audio file that is currently displayed in Harbor automatically 
   loaded into your launched editor.

   ADVANCED HELP SYSTEM
   Harbor comes with fully illustrated and extensively hyperlinked usage documentation 
   built right in. This custom and advanced help system is accessible with a single
   button click from any screen or display in Harbor, and will initially automatically 
   display the documentation most relevant to the screen from which it is called.

   OLDER than a copy of that same file that is already on your system, it will ask you if 
   you want to replace the newer copy you already have with the older one.

   It is always recommended that you tell the program to KEEP the newer copy and to NOT 
   install the older one.
