You misunderstand me, actually in  rhythmbox git version you only got a
toggle Play button. With the ubuntu patch when you're playing a song then
the "play" button transform into a "pause" button and vice et versa. Pause
don't even exist in the git version, it's confusing, you're already playing
a song and the UI propose to "play" not to "pause" the current song.

rhythmarty is already a plugin. It can stay this way. The main idea behind
this is to have different possible visualization like in a file manager or
like in itunes with differents mode list / icons / clutterview for the main
view.

It should be a plugin too or an option, we want users without 3d video card
support to use the application too ;)
