Hi :) Nice! :) I had not thought of using Vlc as a media player, ie music too.
Tbh though i think you are describing the old "way of things" from a couple of years ago. There is a lot more out there now. Rhythmbox is built in and probably even has an add-on for starring or rating music. It's a dedicated music player and even gives easy access to a Music Store (confusingly also called Ubuntu One), various Radio (such as LibreFm, LastFm and others that can be user-defined), Podcasts and stuff. It's right there when you click on the speaker icon in Unity.
