I have a similar solution for Mac OS X using perl and applescript. The problem with doing this on the Mac is that most sites found through Google recommend running apache as the console user, which is a potential security risk. My method is similar to Jordan's in that I have a slim web server running under my account with no privledges other than running the predefined commands to control iTunes (or anything else, for that matter) through AppleScript.
I have a brief write up of the program at my personal project site: http://projects.newrisedesigns.com/
I'm at work now, but I can post the perl and applescript code once I get home.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
