[microsound] sample organization [possibly ot]

[Sean Whalen <sean@xxxxxxxxxx>]

microsounders --

what methods do you use to organize your sample libraries?  i am in dire
need of re-organization, and would like something like the
tag&rename/itunes combo i have for mp3's where:

1) names can be derived directory structure or metadata
2) samples can be browsed by metadata
3) metadata can be embedded in the file
4) no proprietary formats are necessary

except i need this for pcm files (.wav or otherwise).  concerns i have
are application portability, sample compatibility, and flexibility (ie,
how do you deal with apps which reference filenames instead of embedding
samples, where such a reorganization will prevent loading old songs?).

googling hasn't proved fruitful, and i'm afraid a lack of foresight will
cause major headaches down the road.
