Which makes something like mpd all the more appropriate. :) With a
powerful enough backend, people could interface with it however they
wanted with any type of client and keep the same feel (and music
libraries/data) throughout.

As am I. Just with a different method - replacing it. Coming to Haiku
from any other OS, the default media player is extremely dated and
primitive. A default media player should be much better than that in
2009. There isn't much point in sticking so close to how these
applications were on BeOS; operating systems and software in general
have gone very far since then.
