Dawnrazor,> Most programs I know of are "Song Based" ...
I find that statement to be puzzling. I would not describe iTunes, Foobar2000, JRiver MC, the Squeezebox system or the Sonos system to be "song oriented".
Most full featured players let you chose from a variety of ways to browse your collection.
I'd guess that selecting an artist and then one of his/her albums is the most commonly used browsing methods.
iTunes and JRiver MC will let pick from a 3D "wall" of albums first if you like.

Or a laptop at your listening position or the TV in thew room. The computer need not have a keyboard mouse and screen attached. My MusicPC doesn't.
> Old listener can chime in on that point as he is better versed.
> But especially if you have classical the computer is much more powerful.A full-featured player like JRiver MC will let you define a browsing scheme that's just right for what you want to do. And if you want to browse a very different way sometimes, you can design another browsing scheme for that need.
I most often browse classical music by Composer, then Work and Performer. If I choose, I can narrow things down by type of music (chamber, concerto, orchestral, piano, etc.) or by version (for multiple remasterings.) If I want to start with Performer instead, I can do that using the same browsing scheme. The link below shows that scheme.
For jazz or rock, I can start with Performer, Album name or song name.
It takes me about 1-2 minutes to create a new scheme for browsing if I decide I want one.

Computer audio is about deciding what you want to do and then finding the means to achieve that. As you learn more, more possibilities occur to you. If you are willing to learn and think, it need not cost much by audiophile standards.Bill
