For those that don't know about this app, it's a very slick tool that allows you to control your desktop PC audio player using your Smartphone. Unfortunately, it requires Bluetooth at the moment, limiting it to E200 customers, but I've read about an esoteric hack to use GPRS to control the PC.<br /><br />"My new version 0.9.3 of Media Player Remote, which lets you control either Winamp or Windows Media Player on your Desktop using your SPV E200 (or any other Smartphone 2003 with bluetooth) has these new features:<br /><br />• Not only the Playlist but also the Songs are shown on your Smartphone and you can select them (only Windows Media Player which is built-in my program)<br />• Timer function: when time is reached, the music stops and if you selected the option, the PC is shutting down!! Good for night...<br />• New skin<br />• Time is shown<br />• Quality is shown (in kbps)<br />• Status is shown (Playing, Pauses, Stopped)<br /><br />This beta is fully working till 31.01.2004!"
