Pocket PC Media Control
"Welcome to the home of the Pocket PC Media Control. Pocket Media Control is a free application that allows a Pocket PC with a network connection to remotely control Windows Media content on a Windows desktop. The idea is that if you are wandering around wirelessly and want to control your media collection you can do that using the power of Pocket PC. This is especially fun if you have a distributed audio system and have speakers connected throughout your house driven by media content playing from a PC. The application is designed to look just like version 8.5 of the Pocket PC Windows Media Player itself so it is very easy and intuitive to use..."

The price is right, that's for sure. I'd likley start using my WMP more with this. Now I have hook up my PC audio out to my stereo. Unfortunately they're about 75' apart. :?

Good alternative for XBMC
Anyone here use the awesome XBMC (Xbox Media Center)? It can be controlled through it's built-in web server and some guys have been making nice frontends for the pocket pc. Check it out here

There is something similar to this called 'RemoteAmp' It can control, you guessed it, winamp from the PPC.

have downloaded it and tested it, am not used to WMP and Playlists but I can't seem to see a way to get it to play movies ?
my 'media' PC is hooked up to my TV in the living room and primarily plays movies, this would be a great way of controlling them (currently I VNC in, but it's slow and clunky)
