Basic requirements:
- content displaying according to xml playlist

If it will run on XP, .Net should be your first choice foe
availability and performance reasons. And you can use Windows Media
SDK libraries. .Net has also a very good XML handling api. If you want
it to be multi platform, there are many 3er part libraries, like
GStreamer for Mono.
