Coffeehouse - Can WMP do this?

I do not know if you have tried opening the playlists in any text editor. They are in xml, however they do not have the standard notation on top. I am sure you could write a xslt that would output an xhtml from the playlist.

Ofcourse DCMonkey's solution would be better in the sense that you can obtain more information about the tracks if you need from the wmp library

Well IIS does allow using no host headers on a particular ip. So any dns name on that IP would be answered. Then you can have your application parse it, and show different sites based on entry

Coffeehouse - Remote Support in Windows XP

Use the following url in IE. It opens up part of the help center where you can offer someone remote assistance. I use it at work, however I do not know how well it works in a non domain environment.

Or you go to Help and Support under XP, select Tools and there should be "Offer Remote Assistance". Or search for "offer remote assistance"
