Hey Sam
We were recently discussing making MP content available over a network in the Requested Features forum. Some of the discussion may be relevant to what you are working on.
UPnP is being used by many devices now (for example, most of the dedicated music streaming boxes) for all sorts of things including auto discovery, connection management, directory browsing and remote control. It would be good if your webservices interface was based on the UPnP AVTransport protocol. It defines a standard for describing stop, start, FF, REW, etc. and would mean that MP could hook into anything that spoke UPnP.
Check it out - www.upnp.org and http://www.upnp.org/standardizeddcps/mediaserver.asp
