This looks good (but who am I to say :).

When this came up last time, Colin Walters mentioned that it would be
nice to be able to add the removable media to the sources list. What do
you think of this idea? (see http://cfergeau.free.fr/rb-ipod.png for an
example) 

This would make it easy to remove a source that wasn't going to be
inserted again. I'm not sure if Colin meant that the library would still
contain everything and the removable media source just have what was on
the media, or the music on the removable media would be kept separately
from the main library. Perhaps we could get clarification from Colin.  

Also Christophe Fergeau mentioned that "one issue with Rhythmbox and
removable medias currently is that as soon as you start playing a file
on such a media, you cannot easily unmount this media because rhythmbox
only knows how to pause a song, which keeps the file opened, and thus
prevents you from unmounting." Have you thought about this issue?
