It's actually quite modular, and could be stripped down to the point of only playing music. I'm thinking of some configurator for slimming down based on what the user wants. Something like this.

Code:
Choose what MediaBox shall do for you:
[X] Play music
[ ] Play video
[ ] Show images
[X] Manage playlists
[ ] Browse filesystem
[ ] Browse UPnP/DLNA devices
When not loading the unwanted components, startup time will get a bit faster, too.

Yes, please.
