I created something similar to what you are talking about using CCK, Views, Upload Module and "Remove Upload Enclosures".

What I did was to create a new content type that was something similar to a forum post area so the posts can be sorted by program (this was for macro sequences). The original post has a Title area, a program selection drop down, then a text body area to tell what the uploaded item does. Uploads (attachments) are at the bottom of the original post. Comments can follow below the original post.

I use the Views module to list all of them or for certain programs (uses a drop down on one page). The reason for the "Remove Upload Enclosures" was to keep the file(s) from being added to the RSS feed.

I would look at these online documentation areas to help:

CCK Documentation - http://drupal.org/modules/cck/documentation

Views Documentation - http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/views

In general, I use this page (http://drupal.org/handbook/customization) and it's links quite a bit. Lots of good information there!

Hope that helps,
Skip
