Program to put tags (not ID3) on MP3s

mp3searchtagswinamp

My problem: I have a lot of MP3s and finding the right music to listen to is difficult.

What I'd like: I'd like to be able to tag the individual files, similar to how you would tag photos on Flickr, or questions on this site. It's very difficult to search for this, since every "mp3 tagging" search ends up with ID3 taggers, which is not what I'm talking about. I'd imagine that this program would let you add tags (eg: "instrumental, cowbell, party") and then you could easily find all your "cowbell" tracks.

Does such a program exist? And for super awesomeness, it doesn't happen to exist as a winamp plugin?

I was thinking of this for myself some time back,
Had found the TaggTool.

Tagg only stores pointers to your files and will never change or move files. Tagg does allow you to copy files but the original file is left untouched. When Removing Tags remember that only the pointer to the file is being removed from Tagg's database and not the physical file.

But, Lately, I find Locate32 is a better way for me.
The best part is -- it allows you to create databases of specific search scopes
(think of it as customized 'windows search index' files).

Locate32 is software which can be used to find files from your harddrives and other locations. It works like updatedb and locate commands in Unix based systems. In other words, it uses databases to store information about directory structures and uses these databases in searches. The use of these databases provides very fast searching speed. The software includes a dialog based application as well as console programs which can be used to both update and access databases. Supported operation systems are Windows 98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista.
