I don't know of any. What problem is iTunes causing for you?
I find that I can use iTunes interface to do anything I want with my music collection. I have never found the need to muck around in the iTunes folder to change anything, and I don't care how it's organized.
But, if you have a specific problem, maybe someone can help you with it, if we know what it is.

I've heard rhythmbox is nice.
Do you have a question about iTunes?
iTunes works fine for me since Apple bought SoundJam.
There was onetime at iT v5 that I have a problem - out came v6 and I have been void of problems since.
Now - what is that iTunes is doing that is causing problems for you?
If you have the options in iTunes prefs>Advanced - keep and copy - selected then iTunes will do the work for you. Remember that iTunes is a data base manager - any moves made of files in the Finder are moves that iTunes can follow. I suspect that if you are moving things outside the iTunes interface then you a creating your own problems.

Long story on how I got to this point. But I actually I just made a little headway.I just opened itunes and it said it couldnt find the library so I went and located it.Now I have all of my music listed but when I go and try to listen to a song it says this song can not be located so I locate it and that song will now play.I now need to know how to locate all the songs at once I do know where they are.
Thanks everyone for your time

Tried Songbird? It's not perfect but might be an alternative.
Personally I don't like iTunes because some small details...
No possibility to create smart playlists based on path.
Not able to use Album Artist in Column Browser.
The non standard list-selection (shift+up/down arrow does not follow standard behavior).
