I have a very large music library. Digging though directories to find music is many shades of impossible. I was using Songbrid which indexed my collection and allowed me to search it. However songbird is nearly unusably slow for large collections and they have dropped Linux support.

Do you want a web based tool (to access anywhere) or just an application that runs on the desktop?– Robert LeckieOct 7, 2010 at 18:51

@Robert Leckie depends, do you know of a cool web app?– RookOct 7, 2010 at 18:57

webapps.stackexchange.com would probably be the place to ask about a web app for that (if someone else hasn't already).– David ZOct 7, 2010 at 20:09

Why not just have it be like /Music/Artist/Album? That's how I do it and it works great. I've got over 400GB of music...– MarcusJDec 27, 2014 at 0:05

If you're running only on a local machine, I recommend Amarok hands down. It has one of the best interfaces for handling large collections, and doesn't bog down under the size of my collection (20K+ songs)
If you're running over a network, kPlaylist is a great web interface to music collections, though I use mt-daapd to manage and make my large collection (20K+ songs) available over the network. The DAAP server automatically shows up in iTunes (my music player of choice, given such a large collection), and can be made to show up in Songbird or Winamp via plugins. DAAP will stream the music over the network so you don't have to manage sharing the files yourself.

gmusicbrowser is the only application that could read my (600 GB) music collection without problems.

1Welcome to Super User! Please read How do I recommend software for some tips as to how you should go about recommending software. At the very least you should provide at least a link and, if possible, provide some additional information about the software itself such as what features it has and why it would be useful to the person who asked the question.– Mokubai ♦Dec 26, 2014 at 22:32
