I am vaguely aware of some desktop applications that may suite you. I tend to prefer KDE (on Slackware) but I never found them useful and they are one the first things to disable on my desktop as they just waste resources. If you took the trouble to install Linux then I would strongly recommend investing a few minutes to learn the powerful find command. To start with try: find . -name '*.mp3' to find your mp3's in your home (default) directory, ad then browse through man find to read all the features you may use. I you insist on not resorting to the Command Line, then you need to give us details of your distribution (Ubuntu, Mint, or whatever) and you Desktop Environment (normally Gnome or KDE), If you are unable, then a screenshot might also help us.
