vivarium VS cmus

Take a look to Vivarium It is more recent it worked decently and it is remakably easy to config.

I wrote Vivarium specifically to behave like my old xmonad setup, although it isn't at all like xmonad internally. It's configurable in C.

Since various people are asking about xmonad-like tiling in wayland:

I wrote Vivarium[0] specifically to be a wayland compositor that behaves exactly like my (fairly simple) xmonad config, but it's a relatively new/unstable compositor and nothing like xmonad internally.

River[1] has a fantastic tiling model via user-provided executables, which makes it very flexible and probably a good fit for many people wanting something xmonad-like.

Waymonad[2] exists as a direct xmonad-like compositor, but I think development has been basically stalled for a long time. Sometimes there's discussion about reviving it though.

Vivarium has xwayland as an option, enabled by default.

https://github.com/inclement/vivarium.git and https://github.com/djpohly/dwl.git are also great projects in the same vein.

Cmus. https://github.com/cmus/cmus

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.

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...

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.
