I mean, I love Org just as much as anyone else on this list, but it does
not strike me as the right tool for this job?

In my mind anyway, I think first -- especially since you are storing
your files on an SBC on the network -- about some network based music
player like mpd or Mopidy (there are others, too).

There are many interfaces to those, including some in Emacs (maybe even
within EMMS, if I am recalling correctly).

But then you can also access your music from outside Emacs, too.  And
without needing to hack something up / re-invent the wheel in Org.

However, if you like to hack something up in Org instead, by all means,
continue!  :)
