Are there any (all?) that work like Digikam with images for instance where you can tell it to keep *all* of the information in the image files (as well as building its own index) so that if you move the hierarchy or want to access it with other software everything works still?
I'd go for XMMS, modeled after Winamp 2.x series.. or similar. I used to have all my music organised in a neat hierarchy of folders and just right-click on a folder, open with XMMS and it'll playlist those files, all the ID3 information is kept on the files. I hate what iTunes does to music libraries but I can kind of see why they do it - although your average user doesn't understand the "library" method of organising files and usually winds up with tonnes of duplicates etc.
