There are people who are trying to kill off gnome-cd on the basis that other applications provide cd playback. My co-maintainer is such a person. Some people in GNOME agree, some disagree. My co-maintainer feels that Totem or sound-juicer should be the default CD player. The maintainers of those two programs correctly point out that their applications have a different primary use and do not want to take on CD playing as the responsibility. RB plays CD's as well, but is not part of GNOME as a desktop. It gets added in a lot of cases though. Just to illustrate that GNOME is not something set in stone, it's something were things actively change and people discuss ideas. Back to your original question - nobody is telling the user to learn a dozen different player ui's. There are DVD's and CD's, and there's two applications to play it. If you use more than two you're choosing to use more than two. I don't think the argument is very fair to make - aren't you using different applications to access files that come on those silver disks with data on them ?
