Cmus vs. Musikcube
VLC can be used to play a file from the command line, but there is no user interface. Players like cmus and musikcube have a text based interface and library management.

Whipper: Accurate Audio CD Ripping
cmus [1] is the closest I found to foobar2000. It is my main music player now, after years of disappointment. It supports FLAC and they claim they support CUE sheets, although I haven't tested your particular scenario. The way I use it is I have all my library in it at once, iTunes style. It has good search & playlists, but no drag&drop, since it's just command line...

Music Organisation on Linux
I have a (comparatively) small collection (20gb), so here is how I do it: I use beets for the organization (https://beets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/guides/main.html) and cmus (https://github.com/cmus/cmus/blob/master/Doc/cmus-tutorial.txt) for playing.
