I use loopcloud. Im in the same boat as you i have tbs worth of samples with loopcloud you can add ,tag even switch key and it works inside your daw and stand alone.You can rename folders once there imported into loopcloud.You can tag rescan everything.You can search by key ,format,type and its free. https://www.loopcloud.com/cloud Theres also synonym i think its spelled but its a payed standalone also adsr has a free sample manager not as feature rich as loopcloud but it works.

 

There's nothing better than this:
https://www.sononym.net/

 

ADSR or Sononym spring to mind

 

You can evaluate Sononym for a crazy period of time

 

XLN Audio also makes XO

 

depends on what you like to achieve.

If you want to move the sample and not just browser them give resonic or even just Quicklook a try

 

https://resonic.at/

 

How?

 

Sononym is a great sample library manager, but it is a CPU monster. It is impossible to use it concurrently when working on a DAW.

Due to this major issue, i had to avoid using it.

If you talk about Total Commander, i bet that you are Russian or Ukranian : )

 

loopcloud is free you have to sign in one time ever and then you dont have to sign in they have subscriptions but the software is free i use it everyday on a machine that barely sees the internet.

 

this looks interesting!

How professional do you want your libraries to be organized? If you want the industry standard then I suggest Soundminer Pro. Take the 90 day free trial. Yes its Hella expensive, but the features are unmatched, & it also has UCS built in which is quickly becoming an industry standard since its deployment. The biggest problem with sample managers is they lack the ability to easily handshake metadata fields. Cubase, Logic, Protools. Ableton all read/write metadata differently. Even library managers cant agree to adopt universal standards. Some write in iXML chunks, others only read/write proprietary data. Its very frustrating. Soundminer at least has the ability to convert anything it reads into many different formats.... My suggestion is take the 90 day Soundminer trial, see what information your workhorse DAW can read/write. Then see what metainfo your go to file browser reads/writes. Take note of what metadata both your DAW & Sample browser are simpatico. Then have Soundminer read/write & convert it all.... If you find a new DAW or sample browser in the future Soundminer will be able to export all metadata into another format because it has deep export options including the ability to execute python scripts or export to Sqlite ect ect....

 

It all boils down to dates, sometimes if you install a trial 50 years in the future then run the software later in the present day then the software gets confused and gives you 50 years grace
