I'm in linux

Here's some things I'm looking for Zinf to do. Mainly cause I have like 
140gigs worth of albums in mp3 format, and I have a computer running as my 
firewall and is next to my stereo so I use it as a jukebox.

First, have the option of sorting the My Music artists by letter(I have like 
600 individual "artists"), Lazy grouping of artists(so if theres So and So, 
So and So with XYZ, So and So Quintet, etc they all get grouped under So and 
So), Genre grouping(under my music have "By Artist" "By Genre", etc. or maybe 
even a Music database similar to how WinAmp 3 does it), the ability to choose 
output device(so i can choose oss:/dev/em8300_ma-0 and play audio out of my 
H+ card).

Finally, what would be real cool is a command line jukebox program, one that 
can use the zinf database but be invoked by the command line. This would be 
cool for people with computers set up as a music server. Then have zinf able 
to connect to it from another computer to control its playback. That would be 
awesome.
