Boy, not to hijack a conversation, but that screams to me of "don't
reinvent the wheel."  In this case, Rhythmbox has done a wonderful job
of presenting a clean interface for finding music.  Why not modularize
it/librarify it so that other projects don't have to recreate [your] wheel?

It's tied to the library, but with a generic model for a library ... Is
there much talking/sharing between developers of the aforementioned
projects?
