Actually from the brief look at it when I installed Windows 7 they seemed to have made some sizable improvements over the old versions. Not enough for me to switch from foobar though.

Exactly, However claiming Novell is the next Windows worries me a bit. Once you start going mainstream and try catering for every tom, dick and harry's needs do you start to lose your top position. I believe this is what Ubuntu, although a great distro, is currently doing.

Ubuntu's side projects aren't currently trying to grab attention of the mainstream mainly because not everybody has a shit pc build or would even think of getting a Debian based server.

How do you change the song without using the mouse? Do you mean using only the keyboard? If so, I'm pretty sure any decent program has that capability. If not, do you mean using a remote control? If so, then I also believe that just about any decent software player can do the same. So I don't see the big deal. Otherwise, I'm not sure what else there is besides mind control. Also, unless I'm missing something, most audio playing software doesn't really use much for cpu resources. Even on an old computer, an audio player will usually sit between 00-01 being used, even if you're playing high bitrate FLAC files or 24-bit audio. But it's possible there's something I'm missing.

To be honest I don't think ubuntu is a great distro, It is becoming a garbage salad. Its a distro where smart linux users go to die.
...
What I mean was plain cli controls, like typing "xmms2 next" to command line for the next song, such controls have mindblowing potential.

It's where users go to dip their toes into a distro. Although Mandriva and OpenSUSE seem more popular with newcommers now-days. On the campus they're using Mac OSX (Snow Leopard) so I haven't really touched a Linux distro in a few years.
I dived into about 6 distros at one time when I ventured into Linux. Have to say Ubuntu was a great starting point; their forum was full of noob questions and answered all my issues - haven't touched it since Dapper Drake
