I think this is a no brainer as addition to the line.  Lot's of people
co-locate their music with their home theater or surround sound TV
setup.  In my perfect future version, it would have both a screen and
the video output.  Ideally it would be HDMI for video and sound
combined.   All devices need some kind of screen on them for
troubleshooting or otherwise working it while the TV isn't on or tuned
to the source.  The display doesn't need to be as fancy as the current
one, but should at least be basic and allow navigation. Obvious reasons
for the video out are playlists and album art, as well as visualizers. 
A stretch goal would be photo slideshows while music plays.
