I think when you deciding on if you need a document based app, or a
non-document based one, the main issue is if the app will have
multiple instances of it's window's, i.e. iTunes does not have multiple
player windows, so it's not a Document based app, but OSX's Mail does
let you have multiple viewer windows, which would suggest it's a
document based app.

I planning on creating an application that will have a similar
interface
structure to iTunes, but I am not sure if I should use a Document-based
application or not. Any advise as to pro or con of each option would
be
greatly appreciated.
Basically the app will have a predefined collection of players that
will
load in a window like the main window for iTunes. Users don't add or
remove
from this collection but they can manage their own groupings of the
players
from the collection. A single click on a group will list its members
in a
table view (like a playlist and its songs). If a user double-clicks
on the
group, a separate window would open with more details of the group and
all
of its members. The user should be able to have multiple group
windows open
at a time. Any changes or updates the users make to the groups would
be
saved automatically.
My question is, would a document-based application be better for this
app
because of the management issues of multiple group windows or can this
be
done in a standard application?
