Gaviri PocketSearch Productivity Tip: Playing & Managing My Video & Music Files

I have so many video and music files on all my devices. Sometimes it's impossible to browse through them all and enjoy them when I want too.

Gaviri PocketSearch makes it so easy for me to find and play all my music and video files. It even helps me manage valuable storage space by allowing me to delete duplicates and move them around from one device to another! We all know how much space these files can take up.

Gaviri PocketSearch has an embedded media player that lets me listen to music and play videos right from the UI without having to open another application.

 

To play a video file, lets first select the devices we want to search from the "Searchable Devices" panel on the left hand side. For this example, I'll select all my devices for the search so I can also delete duplicates. Let's search for Jimmy Hendrix. I'll type "jim" in the search box and click on the "Videos" category....wow! I see I have four of the same videos on multiple drives/devices.

Gaviri PocketSearch even searches zipped files! You can see I have a copy of the video in a archive file on my (D:) drive.

If I click on "Play" in the media player controls, the video starts to play right from within the archived file without having to extract it!

 

If I click on the "Music" category leaving "jim" as the search query, the search returns only one music file.

Let's go back to the "Video" category so I can delete some duplicate videos. I see I have four of the same videos. I would play them before I delete them to make sure they are duplicates! To delete duplicates, highlight the file to delete and right click to bring up the context menu. Select "delete" and you'll be prompted to confirm. I can just as easily rename, copy or move the file anywhere I want!

   

Click "Yes" and it's gone!

 

That just freed up some space on my USB drive and PocketSearch automatically updates the index and search results! PocketSearch makes it so easy and convenient....

Now going back to music files, if I select the "Music" category and type in "U2", you see I get a bunch of hits.

 

I can browse through all of them. Play, delete, copy or move the ones I want from the various devices. Isn't that cool!

Now you can easily enjoy your media files without the hassle of trying to find them first on the many devices you own! Plus you get to free up valuable space. Enjoy!
