...apart from not handling music on a network share, but I can only fix that by hardcoding it to my network)

what is the issue you're having with network shares? what's your resolution?

Imagine this scenario:

* a server called \\server. The server has music in D:\music and runs the musicIP client.
* a Pi called \\kitchen that access the music and the musicIP webservice on \\server

The musicIP webservice only understands the local d:\music path but the Pi only knows the music as \\server\music. It's not difficult, I just need to change \\server\music to d:\music in the script when passing the path to the musicIP webservice.
