all my files are temporary on a portable HD and I can't be arsed with all that importing then deleting from the library business.

You're doing it all wrong... hold down the option key when you drag the files to iTunes (icon or window) and they'll stay where they are with links to the files in iTunes (to undo this you just Consolidate your library under "Advanced").

iTunes playlist/s with shuffle on.
iTunes also has many plugins/extensions that can add playback functions to hotkeys/menu bars/etc... it's arguably the best MP3 player on any OS, just tweak it to how you'd like it?
