I've been searching the sub looking for this but i didn't find a definitve answer and i imagine it's a topic that deserves constant discussion, so here it goes:

Is there any simple software made to tag files, which embeds the tags in a way that it sticks with the file and is sort of universal, meaning that if that particular software gets discontinued you dont lose the ability to search and or manage your tags? if it can preview pictures and videos as you tag that would be better but not mandatory.

I'm looking into Itag but i'm not 100% sure its what im looking for.

Also im interested in hearing you data organization strategies, do you organize in folders+tags, or just tags?

thanks in advance for any answer
