What would motivate such a project? Who would work on it?
My take on the subject generally:
1-Mature programmers have full plates coupled with lack of motivation to experiment or take on new tasks.
2-The younger population making up the pool of potential new blood doesn't collect mp3s or videos. Instead they are content with various cloud sources and/or subscription based commercial free or reduced commercials services for their music.
I quit collecting music last century, and rarely listen to it any more.
Several of these glorified players also use the cloud to play things from, instead of collecting them. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
