With categories and descriptions you will be able to improve your future search results. See the Section called Description & Category in Chapter 8.

Some of your categories could be "audio", "video", "images" ...

Categories and descriptions can be assigned to disks, directories, files (inside and outside VFS). This is done through the information window (open it with the contextual menu entry "Edit disk/directory/VFS/file")
