This is nice - agreed. Though, I'm still not totally convinced that much 
(if anything) is sacrificed by combining playing and ripping into one app.

If an "Extract" button was added to the Goobox toolbar 
(http://gnome.org/~paobac/goobox/screenshot-001.png) then you would have 
 the same experience you describe above from Sound Juicer.

Linking back and for between the ripper-app and the player-app as you 
described in another email could work well, though I'm not sure it makes 
sense to bounce back and forth between two apps (each with their own 
playlist) like that.

For example, if you had some kind of "play" button next to each track in 
the ripping app, and it opened a player-app - you'd click on a play 
button next to one track and end up with an entire new playlist of the 
same contents you started with.

Perhaps someone could mockup what the stand-alone player and ripper app 
UIs would/could look like?

Enjoying the debate,
