    Hi,

    Does anyone have a good solution to mimic the (audio) preview function in macOS?
    If you are not familiar with macOS i am looking for something that can preview audio files quickly by only navigating with up/down arrow once you set the preview window with spacebar or any alternative key.

    Main purpose for me is to preview samples/audio files quickly in Windows 7.

    Looking forward to hear your suggestions.

    One of the few features I missed from macOS is Quick Look. It allows users to peek into a file content in lightning speed by just pressing the Space key. Windows, on the other hand, does not have this handy feature ... until now.

    I am aware that several alternatives are already available on the Internet (e.g. WinQuickLook and Seer). Despite these options, I still decided to craft another one by myself, because they are either not being actively developed, lack of variety, or ask for some .

    Thank you all so far, will try all options :)

    @GammaStar
    I have MPC-BE x64, you just drag the whole list of files and do Pgup/PgDn?

    @hidera
    Quicklook also compatible on Win7? Will try of course asap, just a question regardless :)

    I didn't want to install but just tried the portable version with Win 7 - it works well.
