Yeah, I think Foobar2000 + a plugin that generated the database would pretty much cover "Something like Rockbox but on the PC" as it is.

and a tool to sync runtime data between foobar and rockbox, then it would be perfect. But I don't know how it should handle the playcount of a file that you play in foobar and in rockbox between syncs...
The foobar database is closed source, btw. It would need some reverse engineering to make a plugin to convert it to and from rockbox.

Llorean:
Even with a closed source database format, doesn't the foobar plugin API have the ability to add songs or update songs in the database, or retrieve their information?

Rincewind:
I tried to program a rockboxfoobardb playcount converter, but the problem is, that the foobar playcount plugin stores the data somewhere in the db, wich is not documented in the API. According to the API, every field in the db matches a real ID3 tag. It seems that the developer of Foobar just extended the db to make this plugin work without changing the API.

Maybe I didn't try hard enough. It should be possible.
