Mirobird? Merge Miro with Songbird?

We are discussing this on Get Satisfaction, but under Songbird...

what I want is a media application and platform that truly competes against iTunes, but from an open culture perspective/philosophy. in the same way that we evangelize to our friends about switching from IE to Firefox, I want to be able to do the same with Mirobird vs iTunes. it should be that simple. Mirobird should do everything that iTunes does, but better, while at the same time making the case for a more open culture of media (plugins, support for non-Apple hardware, not limited to the iTunes store, supporting bittorrent, etc.) isn't Firefox's ability to successful compete against and steal marketshare from IE so quickly, while pushing the open philosophy, the truly inspiring part?

speed matters just like it does when you are out there making the argument for Firefox over IE, but so does good support for both audio and video, the 10-foot Front Row-like experience, a simple interface for getting all media, a great podcast library, ability to rip CD's (and maybe DVD's), and everything else that I'm forgetting but that we can't thank the developers at PCF and Pioneers of the Inevitable enough for. i just feel like Firefox made the jump from the ghetto of the geeks & free culture to the mainstream while bringing along its ideals, and we could do the same in the realm of media players with a merger of Miro & Songbird. but I don't think we get there as quickly or at all in separate pieces.
