I'm looking for a music organizing/tagging software-the equivalent of Photoshop Elements for music...
For those of you who don't know Photoshop Elements, besides the basic photo editing stuff it allows a bunch of tagging-by place, people, type, etc. You can create your own categories, and as many subcategories and levels as you want. For example, when I'm looking for a picture of a hawk I know I took in Brazil in 2005, I'd click the "Place>South America>Brazil>Pantanal", "Animals>Birds>Birds of Prey", and the "Date>2005" boxes. This would leave me with only a few dozen pics to look through for the one I want.
Similarly, for music if I want a playlist of female metal vocalists singing acoustic songs I should be able to check a few boxes, and have it play from that playlist... Essentially something that will import author/artist/album, then let me tag albums/songs with whatever I want so that I can find stuff later. Classical composers/modern arrangements/with lyrics (from my music collection this should pull acapella, techno, metal, classical sounding, etc.) was another thing I was looking for recently, I gave up before getting through half my music. If I could tag all my music then it would be so much easier than always trying to remember which artist/album/song has what I'm looking for. Is there anything out there like that?
After having written it all out it seems unlikely that there's anything out there like what I'm envisioning, still-figured I'd check.
