I have a giant library of mp3 and audio files that include songs, audiobooks, personal sound recordings, sound effects, etc. I am completely overwhelmed by the options of having a "media library". I would really like the ability to search and sort through the files (possibly from mp3 tags in the files themselves). I don't trust applications like iTunes and Windows Media Player. I want something stable and powerful. I am a power user and do not mind some extra hacking to get a solution to fit my needs (okay, they are really "wants").
Anyway..here are some of my "wants":
- Build Playlists
- Play Playlists and remove songs from the list during playback
- Easily edit tags of the mp3 while it is playing (fix errors or add comments)
- Categorize (eg Audio book, song, etc)
Which technologies have users found useful? Also which applications are junk not worth trying? I use Linux and don't mind command-line tools, but would like a system to put it all together.
