And by this I again mean the actual code, I don't think the playlist UI 
is complex.

Although we can do some really interesting things to it with Qt4, we 
could have multiple different ways of viewing it, or make the view 
pluggable really easily. Theoretically the plugins could be Qt-binding 
scripts. All this because the model-view-controller framework abstracts 
the data from the view completely.

It would be easy to have a collection view, rather than a traditional 
playlist. Not to say this is necessarily a good idea, but it's very easy 
to do. Certainly if the view was pluggable, someone would eventually 
make one.
