Looks good. But I'm still looking for a player that could be as compact and unobtrusive as Winamp: squashed into a tiny playback bar I could pop open to peek at some setting and a tiny playback queue window to the side I could dock with it, or turn off, stretch out long separate from the playback controls so I could see what was coming up, or just pick something coming later down the line.
In this case, if there was a "tiny" mode that merged play/pause, and put it, stop, next, previous (and maybe shuffle) into the title bar. Changed the title to the current track, then had maybe a "show playlist" pop down I could toggle, then got rid of the entire rest of the UI or buried behind a "more stuff" button. I'd be happy.
Nightingale [1] is a community-supported fork of Songbird (development of songbird is discontinued).
It has a bar-like "mini player" mode. Size and functionality (and availability) of that mode depend on the skin selected, but in general there are buttons for prev,pause,next track, volume control, current trackname, length and current position. It does not have a separate playlist though, but double clicking it brings you back to the itunes-like "main player" mode.
The mini player is still somewhat bulky, for my taste. I remember Songbird had some skins, that made it even slimmer. I fixed this for me with a small AutoIT script, that fades the player to 10% transparancy when the mouse is not hovering on top of it.
