lol I am dumb: Eagle can do music. Which solves my problem!

 

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?

 

I'm trying to store a backup of recordings we've been making for the past three years. It's currently at less than 3 TB and these are 5 - 9 GB files each, as mp4s. It will continue to grow, as we generate 6 recordings a month. I don't need to access the backup frequently, as the files are also on my local machine, on archival M-discs, and on a separate HDD that I keep as a physical backup and sync two regularly. I also have Backblaze in the background. So when I go back to edit the recordings, I'll be using the local files rather than the ones in the cloud.

However I really want someplace to drop a recording immediately after it's done that's off-site in the cloud, just in case of an immediate disaster.

They are currently on Sync.com, which offers unlimited space for $30/mo, but the service's stopped providing support of any kind recently (despite advertising phone support for their higher tiers) so I'm worried they're about to go under or that something is up with their company.

I had considered AWS Deep Archive, but their egress cost seems insane as the service is really meant for "archives" as far as I understand it, not as a backup I might very infrequently access.

What other options are out there to consider?
