Software for organizing huge collection of field recordings

Hi all. I'm a field/nature recordist and my collection has somewhat gotten out of control. I need some tools to organize it better. There's two things I'm looking for.
1. A script that would make a folder for each date taken from the file's date stamp and rename the file to date.
2. A media player that is also a tagger, and has a waveform display with navigation.
Any help appreciated.

Do you have any experience with (shell) scripting? Should be pretty doable.

No, I don't have much experience in shell scripting. I like the commandline but I don't have much knowledge. I found some scripts that should do almost what I wanted, but they all needed some modification. I tried to modify them but that only broke them. I don't know the syntax. So I was hoping someone could direct me to something that's ready to use. I've seen examples for imagemagik to sort photos but couldn't make them work either. As for a player with waveform display I found nulloy
http://nulloy.com/. It would be perfect but I can't see any option for tagging files.
