I second that intuition. "Two xmms instances" and "one instance with 
two playlist windows" seem to be two rather different mental models. 
Though designing to allow 1> instance of an application is very 
Unixy, there is still only one output device, so stuff like volume 
controls is a hard fit. Many _playlists_ is an easier concept to 
grasp though...

My vote is for having >1 playlist in one instance (If you can mix and
match between instances, that's a bonus).

PS. Anyone know of any irmp3 integration with xmms? (I'd like to leave
irmp3 on a headless box, and sporadically connect xmms to it to 
massage its playlists etc...)
