I tend to do it old school. mkdir + mv + cp + rename + stuff(s)... I do t=
ake care to use meaningful and sometimes lengthy filenames. Search-able by=
$ find /path/ -iname '*stuff*to*match*'
But there's tools for that too. File Roller, Midnight Commander, Nautilus.=
It really depends on what you want to search on. Date/Time? ID3v2 tags? =
Filenames? Locations? You could put them all into a MySQL database and a=
dd additional tables for meta data. But that can be downright cryptic if y=
ou're not a techie. A lot of times it's just easier to have regular files =
and browse the path in a web browser. Sometimes I take care to make a new =
directory for a new year and keep the files associated with that in said di=
rectory(s). That also helps a lot with backups and such. Since already pa=
ssed years don't update much.
