Abstract: A method of providing capabilities for searching a plurality of audio files by a graphical user interface in a display. A window showing information concerning at least one of a plurality of audio files is configured to operate in an always-on-top mode within the user interface, while occupying an area that is substantially less than 10% of the display's overall area. The window provides a search entry element configured to receive at least one search criterion provided by a user, the search criterion established by the user to identify at least one audio file from among the plurality of audio files. Additional unobtrusive windows are provided in the same user interface to present the results of search actions, these additional windows being initialized as hidden, and visible when a user initiates a search action or actively engages the search results.
