Document App or not?

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?
