Another possibility is to use <res> tags. This is already used by several media servers to transmit subtitle URLs for video items (there's no standard for subtitles either, so there's at least 3-4 methods that I know of, for media servers to send them).

For example it could be:

Quote:<res protocolInfo="http-get:*:application/x-pdf:*">some url here</res>

There can be as many such res tags as pdf booklets. They would have to be placed after all audio <res> tags. The mime-type (application/x-pdf) indicates a booklet.

In fact this would be my preferred solution. I don't like the idea of using lyricsURI much as it can be genuinely be used by a server to send lyrics.
