MPRIS is a protocol for controlling an (existing) media player.

A media library sounds more like a service. It should be a separate protocol.
However, I am not sure it makes sense to standardize it. Different media 
libraries probably have slightly different models, and might not accept an 
external application adding random entries in random places?
