killlihu have released Sound Browser, available for $12.00.
One of the drawbacks of Live is that when creating custom presets, no audio preview is generated, which makes it difficult to navigate through presets to select the right one. With Sound Browser, you can browse through your presets with audio previews and insert them into your project with a simple clip or drag-and-drop.
Supports files in the following formats: ADG / ADV / ALC / AUPRESET / VSTPRESET.
It is not necessary to encapsulate AU/VST instruments within a rack, a preset can be used directly from the instrument.
ALC files can be previewed in Live, but doing so first loads the instrument and/or effects into memory, which slows down navigation. With Sound Browser, audio preview is instantaneous.
Note that the one-click add function has some delay on Windows while it is instantaneous on Mac. On Windows it is faster to use the drag-and-drop feature, which works instantly on both operating systems.
Files containing sequences are not previewed in sync with the project tempo.
It also includes a second device that makes it easy to create audio files for preview.
The preview file creation device automatically generates a file with the name of the instrument and places it in the appropriate folder. To use it, simply create a MIDI clip with the desired notes and press a button on the device.

Sound Browser requires Ableton Live 10 / 11 / 12 with Max for Live (not included).
