Dan Chudnov has done a lot of thinking on how itunes and zeroconf could
fit into libraries, collected here:

And a good starting point is here:

In fact, I think Dan answers the question brilliantly by posing another
question: "shouldn't our whole libraries be as easy to connect and share
as iTunes?" Sounds like a good candidate for a NGC to me.
