I'm thinking of replacing Evernote with OneNote. In May 2015 Evernote broke their implementation of Tables, which I use a lot in this context, as of a day or two ago they still hadn't fixed it in the latest beta!!
I also do some things fidvo does

I don't bother with the extension rename, if its a solid archive of images (ie only images and no subfolders) calibre will 'convert' the .zip to cbz. It will also use the first image as a cover.
I put the Photographer name in Author and make up a Title (e.g. Fred & Freda's Wedding) - I have a a number of custom columns - Photo Count, Photo Height & Width, Location, People etc.
I create an album a month for the ad hoc photos
Movies:
Similar for movies - I put Director in Author, I also have a Cast column for significant roles, and some other custom columns like length.
I don't have any regular TV shows. But I do have lots of talking heads current affairs shows that I store in a separate library (Media) along with transcripts. In the related Evernote link I put urls to related material from the MSM and Soc Med commentariat
Music:
No - thought about it but I'm happy with Quodlibet.
Audio Lectures:
Similar - This is the sort of thing where I use an Evernote link which in turn holds, or references via file links, the audio/video lectures and notes.
Notes:
No - Evernote and Onenote are better for this. IMO calibre has too much of a 'fixed structure'. I use EN for ad-hoc notes and clips etc, and Onenote for structured (e.g. lecture, storyboard) notes. EN notes will often find there way into a Onenote Notebook
Recipes:
No - I usually make it up from what I have in fridge/cupboard, or use existing paper cookbooks,
Software:
No - I might drop windows shortcut files (lnk) into an Ever/One note

One other thing I do is to put links to Chrome shortcuts that access calibre servers in Evernote, so an Author Note will have one or more of something like this
Code:
%UserProfile%\Local\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe http://This-PC:8082/browse/matches/authors/187
Where 8082 is the port that I've associated with a library, and 187 is the Author rowid in that library. Thus I can get to my 'books' from Evernote.
Thinking of dedicating Edge for the above, as I sometimes use Chrome for big browser-only downloads. I'll probably do it when Kovid releases the new server program.
