BTW, there are 2 more front ends in Emacs: mpc.el (bundled with Emacs
since Emacs-23 or so) and ampc.el (available in GNU ELPA).

I'm the author of mpc.el and from the points you mention, I'd guess
mpc.el won't suit you (it doesn't even attempt to give you any kind of
tag-writing ability, it rather focuses on providing a browser to find
the music you want to play).
