For music, you should try a proper music player, like MPD and ncmpcpp. It has a music database, playlists and all that stuff.

out of curiousity, does MPD/ncmpcpp make use of the shell? if it doesn't then i can't see how it'd be advantageous over a gui music player like rhythmbox

The nice thing about MPD is that it can be controlled by all the clients you want, and MPC (the default client) is excellent for scripting.
OF course, for manual control ncmpcpp - which is ncurses - is easier to use.
