Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

My data hoarding has to do with gathering production assets for a game I'm working on and keeping them organized. For example, I collect thousands and thousands of icon assets and vfx assets and music assets and create libraries I can search through, that way I can grab the perfect asset when I'm making something for the game.

In this case I'm looking for a software to tag all my music. I need to be able to make up tags like "sad" and "epic" etc that way I can search those tags when I'm editing a video to pluck a track I need. I don't care about the file metadata or anything about the actual track (such as the artist, genre, etc).

I notice a lot of the suggested software here like Mediamonkey and Picard etc are centered around managing metadata. Is there a simple software that just lets me tag tracks with custom tags and search across them? Like Eagle (https://en.eagle.cool/) but for music?
