Hello,
I am looking for a good multimedia organiser that can dig into my system and organise pictures, music, video files that are scattered across many folders as doing it manually is just not possible for me. It should automatically categorise media types. It should have category views that I can simply click on like music, videos etc. so I can get all those files in one list. I have been trying out different media players/centers but they don't have what I want.
I remember Beagle was supposed to be used for precisely this requirement. Although I never got used to it, I thought it might be interesting to people who are of the 'serach rather than organize' mindset (I'm not).
Think of it as GUI based content-sensitive, updatedb+locate.
In any case, there's a list of desktop search tools here:

If so inclined, you could possibly also hack something up with `find`+`file` and store it in an sqlite db. Enjoy :)
cheers, - steve
