There is already daap, and there are standalone daap servers, perhaps mpd could act as a daap client rather than inventing a new protocol. There is also DLNA, though I don't know a great deal about that or whether it would be suitable. > Then plugins for every player could be made (from itunes to mpd to mpd > clients). iTunes is already a daap client and server, for example (however iTunes will not speak to non-iTunes clients, but will speak to non-iTunes servers). > And yeah, i know that i am reinventing the wheel with a new protocol. > Yeeah, i know there is ftp, upnp, nfs, smb, several streaming > techniques, pulseaudio and many many many more for doing that.
