Auto Preview button

The Explorer window functions almost exactly like Windows Explorer and allows you to locate and manage media files on your computer. ACID s Explorer, however, allows you to preview a selected media file (click the Auto Preview button—see Figure 1.15) and also gives you additional information about the selected file in the Summary View at the bottom of the window. This works only when a loop is selected If nothing is selected, nothing is previewed and no information is displayed. Media files are added to new tracks in a project by doubleclicking the files or by dragging them to the timeline from ACID Explorer. 

To automatically preview the selected loop file, click the Auto Preview button in the Explorer window, making sure it is depressed. You can manually preview loop files using the Start Preview and Stop Preview buttons if you prefer.
