-<p>
-  Many sessions will require the use of <dfn>existing material</dfn>,
-  whether it consists of audio and/or MIDI data. Using existing samples,
-  loops and riffs from files stored on your system can be the basis for
-  a new session, or a way to deepen and improve one that is already
-  underway.
-</p>
-<p>
-  You can import audio and MIDI data into your session with the
-  <dfn>Add Existing Media</dfn> dialog.

-<h2>The Soundfile Information Box</h2>
-<p>
-  This box will display information about the currently selected file:
-</p>
-<ul>
-  <li>number of channels,</li>
-  <li>sample rate,</li>
-  <li>file format,</li>
-  <li>length,</li>
-  <li>embedded timestamp (applies to some professional formats such as
-  Broadcast WAVE), and</li>
-  <li>tags (attached metadata to help categorize files in a library).</li>
-</ul>
-<p>
-  If the sample rate differs from the current session rate, it is displayed
-  in red, which indicates that the file must be resampled before
-  importing.<br />
-  Resampling is controlled by the <kbd class="menu">Conversion quality</kbd>
-  option described below.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Auditioner</h2>
-<p>
-  Files can be auditioned before importing. The slider under the play and
-  stop buttons allows you to scrub around, a fader on the right side allows
-  you to control the playback volume.
-</p>
-
-<h2>Importing options</h2>
-<p>
-  You can import files into new, automatically created tracks, to the region
-  list (from where you can manually drag them into a track), or as new
-  <a href="/working-with-tracks/track-types/">Tape tracks</a> with the
-  <kbd class="menu">Add new files as...</kbd> option.
-</p>
-<p>
-  New files will be inserted at either the file timestamp (if available,
-  zero by default), at the <a href="/ardours-interface/the-edit-point-control/">edit point</a>, at the
-  playhead, or at the start of the session, as specified in <kbd
-  class="menu">Insert at...</kbd>.
-</p>
-<p>
-  The Channel <kbd class="menu">mapping</kbd> is either "one track/region per
-  file", or "one track/region per channel". The latter splits multichannel
-  source files into mono regions.<br />
-  If you have selected multiple files and are importing them into a track,
-  you can also choose whether to sequence all files into a single track in
-  the order of selection, or to create as many tracks as there are files to
-  import.
-</p>
-<p>
-  The <kbd class="menu">Conversion quality</kbd> drop-down controls the
-  quality of the resampling process, if the sampling rate of the source file
-  differs from the session rate.
-</p>
-<p>
-  Finally, and most importantly, you can decide whether to <kbd
-  class="option">Copy files to session</kbd>, or to link them. Please read
-  <a href="/adding-pre-existing-material/copying-versus-linking/">Copying
-  versus Linking</a> for details.
