Hey,
I'm looking for a free/cheap sample organiser, like a Windows Explorer geared towards audio sample collections. I'm getting the new DAW in the next few weeks and want to keep it incredibly well organised from the get go, especially as I'm settling for a cheaper model which I will have to upgrade over the next couple of years.
I know the topic was discussed a few months ago, but I failed miserably at finding the old thread. From what I can recall, there were two or three widely used ones.
Well, if there isn't one I like, I would imagine it to be pretty simple to program, so I may take a whack at it once I brush off the old c++ cobwebs...
thanks
Mike

Cheers, I'm at work, and our server has a lot of filters, so almost every site I want to see is blocked including search engines. Also, it's a pretty open plan office, and I'm not exactly the CEO of the company 
It's pretty funny, for some reason KVR doesn't get blocked, and the colour scheme is almost exactly the same as Oracle, the database I use predominantly at work. Sneaky sneaky!
Anyway, thanks for the link, I'll check it out, and if worst comes to worst(ie, it isn't exactly what I want), I'll be a'programmin in a couple of months.

I've heard there is a pretty decent one which is called 'sample-catalog' but I can't find a link right now
b.t.w.: thanks Rob - the one you mentioned seems pretty good too
