Sample Librarian--Can you recommend one?

I've got loop libraries scattered all over my various hard drives and want to start organizing them.

Can anyone recommend a good "librarian" software for organizing things?

Thanks in advance.

    I've been doing it manually, too, but want to be a little better organized.

    GOOGLING around, this seems to be popular:  http://www.ryaudio.com/

    ...but I was hoping there was something better/cheaper--so I do appreciate any input on this.

    drum folder with different sample pack subfolders (sounds in HD, sonic specialists etc). samples folder (from vinyl), with personalized categories. sample pack folder with subfolders from different companies (zero g, future loops etc). FX folder (foley) with category subfolders. all the above have been saved in the browser drop down menu for instant navigation in sonar.

    i suspect you could do all of that for free in itunes... simply create a different library

    Virus Ti2 Polar, Fantom G6, Yamaha S70XS, Novation Nova, Novation Nova II, Korg MS2000, Waldorf Micro Q, NI Maschine Studio, TC-VoiceLive Rack, 2012 Gibson Les Paul Standard, 2001 Gibson Les Paul DC, 1999 Fender Am Hardtail Strat, Fender Blues Jr, Orange TH30/PPC212, Tak EF360GF, one mic, no talent.

    Would be cool if X2 browser had a tagging system, some loops, audio and sounds belongs in multiple categories and then a folder hierarchy breaks.

    For a perfect example look at Omnisphere browser, so easy to find a bunch of sounds using tags and categories to drill down.
