Reading initial post this was my first thought. And not only there already is such an application (mpd) but a client for is has been ported to maemo ( http://mmpc.garage.maemo.org/) and it's excelent. I use it every day to control music on my media server. So why not just port mpd server component to maemo and be done with it? There are 5 (five!) web based mpd clients listed on their site and 13 other ones. In addition meamo is already at, what, 4 - 5 media players? There is so much stuff out there talented developer like yourself can focus on...
