I think you must have very different needs if VLC is a substitute for iTunes/Music. For me, iTunes/Music is a music catalog app for managing my 9000+ MP3s with artists, album covers, playlisted based on various criteria, etc... where as VLC is an app for playing back single media files.

I manage my 9000+ MP3s with the filesystem. It has all the cover art, it's organized any way I want, and has playlists based on any criteria I want. Then I use any music player I want, and can drop the files onto any device I want.

I won’t say vlc is my favorite UI but it does all of this.
