A method for video indexing using high quality audio clips enables a user to acquire high quality audio clips during an audio/video sequence recording so that the user can selectively view the audio/video sequence using the high quality audio clips as video indices. Using the high quality audio clips as video indices enables the user to easily index the audio/video sequence using the most memorable pieces of music. In addition, the most memorable pieces of music contained in the high quality audio clips can be enjoyed (viewed and listened) in high quality audio, for example, with stereo sound, high dynamic range, noise suppression, or without psycho-acoustic compression.
