Delurking, as a non-code contributing user, I agree with Colin - I also 
alternate between different sources of music, and one UI seems more 
consistent. FWIW, I'd like to see playlists that alternate between time 
spent in iradio looking for new things, and time spent playing "old 
favorites" from my local collection. Not that I've ever seen a playlist 
format/editor that'll let you do that, but if the apps stay separate, I 
wouldn't think it would be an easy thing to do.
