Open source Spotify client that doesn't require Premium nor uses Electron
In a way, This reminds me of the (much more ambitious) system of resolvers [1] of the (now defunct) tomahawk player [0]
The idea was you just give it the metadata and it "resolves" it into any service. I really like this idea. it kind of lives on in "playlist converters" like tunemymusic or soundiiz. but it is not the same as it being built into the player itself (like spotube albeit with a different more straightforward aim here)

Why is newpipe better than using YouTube?
I hope eventually all of the guys muddling around this will realize the obviousness of the truth: we need a metadata-first player with Artist, Track, Album Linked Open Data entities, where the actual data are just sources for that entity, and you can have multiple providers (YouTube, Soundcloud, Bandcamp, torrents, IPFS, anything). Some tracks you listen to often you can "cache" on the SD card, so you don't hit the network AGAIN for the same data (cell towers and servers use power you know). Other times you want to make room and you blow away some of the data. But if you've got reception and a locally unavailable track shows up in a playlist it will just fetch it from one of the other sources. If some uploader decided to cripple your playlists with link rot, no problem, all of the metadata is intact and in your control, you just need to find another provider for that CreativeWork. Your metadata then becomes a monolithic single-source-of-truth database of information like "Blind Observatory is a project of David Pasternack", "this track belongs with tracks of the style called Chillrave", "this track is via Alice", "heard this in a mixtape by Bob". At which point it becomes obvious you shouldn't be handling the fabric of your digital life in anything less than a top quality FOSS graph database of sorts. You tend to that directly, then glue code deals deterministically with stuff like writes to embedded tags so the music files are portable.

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.
