Organizing music files. I wonder if there is such thing as a music tagging system that functions like Delicious or Blogspot, in the sense that you have one item, be it a web page or an entry, that has multiple tags so that you can pull up that one item multiple times depending on which tag you're interested in. That would make more sense than my attempt to organize things by artist or album, because rather than playing everything by an album or an artist, I'm much more prone to be in the mood for a specific type / theme of music. I'd like to be able to pull up, for instance, "The Promise of the World" on a day when I feel like listening to soundtracks from movies on shuffle AND on the day when I feel like listening to different types of waltz. And then Bon Jovi will probably get sorted under "loud" and "road trip" and possibly "Lunatics" while the Animaniac's "Ingredients" will get filed under "sound track", "nerd songs", and "ear worms" (the last along with the songs "Cows In the Morning" from BLACK BOOKS and the ...whatever that song is called that goes "Buono tomato buono tomato buono buono oh! Tomato!" -- because it eats your brain). That would be nice. Does that exist? Because right now my searches for tagging systems via the Magic of Google only gives me "tagging" as in via artist or album which is...still useful, but not what I have in mind.
Got caught in downpour earlier this morning. Everything's wet. Still coughing.

You are pretty much describing iTunes' playlist system where you get to make your own categories and stick whichever songs you like into however many of them you like. I know you are actually trying to avoid iTunes but it's dead useful for organizing music.
