As long as it's clear what the default is set to, and how to change it, I think this is a fine way to boost working pace.

By "unified" do you mean a single app to view all songs or photos? That seems to run against the spirit of Etoile; OTOH, songs and photos are the kinds of things that you might like to have all in one place. Perhaps one could instantiate collections by selecting them with a mouse and using the context menu. These collections could be viewed/manipulated using an object browser service. These collections may be strewn across various projects, but the object browser can search for them and the user can organize them any way he or she likes: flat in one-project, in sub-projects, or just all over the place.
