I think most of us consider such a thing out-of-scope for MPRIS, from
what's been said in past discussions. What would probably be better
would be a separate interface that interacted well with MPRIS.

There is the MediaServer2 interface
(http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/MediaServer2Spec), although that only
provides access to a media library, not management.
Note that there is potential for MPRIS track ids to refer to objects
that implement org.gnome.UPnP.MediaItem2, for example.

officially retired.
