It's A Digital Disease!

I'm currently thinking about ways to organize my data for easy retrieval of files (given that there's many "categories of files", like, old backup stuff, music, movies, etc).

I have been searching for a tag-based system that could make this process easier. Like, I would be able to find the soundtrack of a movie, without having to put them next to each other in a folder.. I primarily use Linux and I'm curious about the feasibility of implementing a tagging system like this.

Do you think a tag-based approach is practical, maybe using some app for this, or do you just rely on naming conventions and standard file search/tree structure?
