Hello Robert,

sounds like you might want to have a look at http://musicpd.org - in
portage as media-sound/mpd or media-sound/mpd-svn.

It does all you mention above (and more), and is nearing a major
release (rc3 came out just today, I will be adding an ebuild for it
tonight after I'm back from work).

Kind regards,
