I don't think there would be a need to keep up to date with iTunes'
implementation, only with other open source implementations. Don't
know how others would feel about this though, and I'm not clear on the
licensing issues either. I do know that Tangerine, Banshee, Rhythmbox
and amaroK (and others I think) support daap at the moment.

Yes the client and server parts can be implemented separately,
although I think mpd acting as a daap server could be very
straightforward. Effectively p2p is just a client and a server at both
ends, there is no real difference.
I don't have time to attempt to implement this at the moment though,
and I don't know if anyone else would be interested in doing so.

> Hmm it must be validated if it really is already there...

Yes, I'm not certain this is the best solution at all, just thought it
was worth mentioning as a possibility.
