I-Tunes-type software

I'm starting to move my CDs to hard drives and need some capable interface software. An I-Tunes type program will be fine, but I have one concern: if I choose to shuffle/ random play, I'd like a program with tagging sophisticated enough to keep the four movements of Beethovin's 5th Symphony together even though they are four tracks on the CD I ripped them from. I'd appreciate any suggestions AudiogoNers have.

Do programs like Audirvana, Amarra, and Pure Music work if not using an apple computer? Will an airport express work with these programs?

I am pretty sure that Audirvana, Pure Music, and Amarra only work with OSX and iTunes as the library. JRiver was originally developed for PC and is now Mac compatible.

Macdonj - try the JRiver software out for a bit. I think you will like it. At this point I am now getting into running Minimserver on my Mac Mini and bypassing JRiver, except to curate my library. I use PlugPlayer on my iPad and Android to access my music folders off the server. I will be expanding this in the near future but for now the results have been very good. I may go back to JRiver if and when I start using DSD.

Have both JRiver and Audirvana running on a Macbook.  JRiver has very impressive tagging capabilities and library management features, but I'm not sure that it is really at home on a Mac.  Extremely unstable to the point of unusability.  

Audirvana struggles in the tagging department.
