The Grumpy Editor's guide to music managers (in Linux)

In search of better ways, and looking for an excuse to listen to more music while pretending to work, your editor delved into the world of free music managers. The manager part of that is key: the world is full of music players, but they are generally not helpful in organizing that big pile of music files. Your editor would like a tool which brings some order to the mess, makes finding and playing music easy, and helps with the management of one or more digital audio players. The search turned up three tools, all of which have some nice features, but none of which are, yet, a full solution.
