The files are scattered and have extensions that tell their type, like mp3, avi etc. What I want is a media browser that can dig through my directories and sub directories and show files in folders like music, video etc. Basically it will be an advanced search and sort utility.
You can use XBMC for that. E.g.: http://xbmc.org/wp-content/gallery/confluence/screenshot007.jpg It can scan given directories / nfs / cifs shares for media.
Craaaawls on a amd64. Uses 100% cpu. XBMC ubuntu 10.04.
However it would not be able to determine that a given AVI file is Movie or Music (I.e. Music Video) unless file has correct tags.
You can try YAMJ if you find XBMC too heavy for this task.
