Hi Jessie, You might check out "Archivist Toolkit" (http://www.archiviststoolkit.org/) -- its a comprehensive app designed for applications such as the ones you described. We've started using it to manage a large collection of recordings (I only do the content-creation & metadata inputting, so I can't speak to its efficacy beyond that). It was developed in part here at UCSD, so I could put you in touch with its authors if it looks like it might be useful for you.
