Icslap dangerous?

Vista Home Premium- NAV2008

I notice the following in my connection logs

 

"inbound/outbound" connection to 127.0.0.1

local service port 2869 (icslap) and remote service port 2869 (icslap)

Now I know that 127.0.0.1 is my computer talking to itself, but what is port 2869 icslap?

 

also I use mwindows media player. I notice that even if I listen to a song that I downloaded onto my computer from a CD, I still get out bound connections to several websites such as

emusic.com

audible.com

xmradio.com

 

is that due to the windows media player having some sort of built in "hey if you use this we are going to connect to these sites" function?
