Again, I think Totem/VLC/Mplayer has done exactly what the OP requested here in their application. That is, adding audio support to a video player. Do you often use one of these applications to play audio? I think the pattern for listening to music is different from watching video. You seldom watch more than one, perhaps two movies in a row, and therefore, the demand for a video library is not that high ( you find your video file with Beagle/Tracker/Xesam or manually, and therefore don't need another library to manage ). Music players, however, are completely different. It's not uncommon to listen to a lot of tracks in a row, and the need for a library to manage this music is obvious. > > >> 2.

I'd like to keep these separate for the following reasons: - When I listen to music I don't want track 5 of A Study in Scarlet to suddenly start playing. - I don't want to scrobble (last.fm) my audiobooks. - My dynamic playlists (most popular etc. ) shouldn't include the audiobook collection. Perhaps you could do this with playlists, but I don't really see it being easier. > > > >> 4. Sync - Automatically sync with mp3 players, and ipods. > > > > Syncing playlists, then?
