This is why I'm learning Drupal. I've got well over a terabyte of
content and between Windows/Linux/Mac OS spread over 6 boxes, I haven't
found a single solution to handle it all. I've tried a few tagging
programs (haven't tried any mentioned in this thread; I'll check those
out) but I have to use more than one of them to get all the features I
want. Media servers do ok with music and video but don't handle
documents/odd file formats well (if at all). I need to have 100%
complete control over the tagging/indexing, when I add the content
*and* when I access/search for it. None of the programs I tried are
good at both. And I need to do all this from a browser. <br>
<br>
At first Drupal seemed like overkill but it took just way too long to
keep pruning my content. I tried starting a database to keep track of
everything, but that got really complicated really fast and I felt like
I was reinventing the wheel. And making everything browser accessible
requires waaaaaay too much coding. Drupal does have a high(er) learning
curve, and a bit of coding but in the end, I'll get *exactly* what I
want. Plus after I finish this project, I'll be able to make some money
doing web development. <br>

I'm considering Alfresco for a project at work. It gives you tagging
and content management, with an added benefit of allowing you to store
and access content through an samba-like file share. You can dump stuff
into a file share, then switch to the browser to add additional tags if
necessary. There are also scripts that can automatically extract
metadata from the files you put there. (like pulling EXIF data from
photos)<br>
