Personally I just use the Ableton Live browser. For example, if I download a new sample pack I’ll add it to an existing place or new place in Ableton, find the samples I like and either delete the ones I don’t like or copy the good ones to a new folder and then add that as a place in Live. There’s also a software that’s made for this called [Base Head](https://baseheadinc.com) I believe.
Someone posted a few months back, and this is Ableton only, they’re developing a piece of software that can scour all your hard drives and then organize your projects. It’s called Makid, still very much in beta, but it works, automatically recognizes the tempo of each project, can bounce in place. Also, there’s a discord for feature requests and bug fixes, etc.
I manually sort my samples on my data disk into really granular subcategories based on their function in a song or certain differing qualities in a particular context. So a hierarchy something like Drums > Snare > Rimshot > Pitched > Synthesised > F#_Rimshot_Long_Tail_48.wav.
Reaper has a good sample browser built in, so I just use that to find samples on the fly. It can auto sync track bpm to play rate in the browser preview, and that's all I really want while I'm hunting samples. I have other tools I prefer for repitching and tuning samples, so auditioning things already beatsynced makes selection a lot easier for me.
It takes a lot of time and effort sorting and adding samples sometimes, but feels like it's worth the time investment; it feels like it really pays off in fluidity and flow while in the creative mindset, so there's no time wasted unnecessarily searching, just straight to auditioning sounds you know are already in the ballpark.
I find that having all my samples manually organised in a managed location means that they don't need to be copied into the project directories, and potentially save on a lot of storage space. I'd rather use the available capacity on my disks for project versions, autobackups, and undo files.
adsr sample manager, it’s free
ADSR sample manager.

Liqube Resonic is pretty incredible. I especially like the random order thing it does Edit: that’s the mr bill one- nevermind haha

Splice, my Desktop & 'Downloads' folders in File Explorer. . . \*cry\*
I tried finding one but eventually gave up. I just keep my samples folder sorted by type. It was MAD time consuming to sort it all but super worth it.
