I don't think convenience can be used as an argument here. The buttons
would only be moved a few pixels =)

Moving the button would break the iTunes feel, but bring in Gnome
consistency. A real status bar have been added to Rhythmbox lately, so
perhaps it might make sense...?

How could I forget the album cover?=)

That's a good point actually! Then it would be play/not play. Sort of
a music On/Off switch.

I would say a stop button only make sense on hardware.

I don't see why not. Having one button is convenient.
