I swear I have seen guides for either Serial or Com port remotes for winamp, simple ones with the serial/com cord connected to some switches kinda deal. However, looking over that past day I can't seem to even find references to such creations. The only thing I have found is the plugin for winamp, here. The offical site listed there is mostly in dutch, and in the english faq there was a short guide on building one of these, but with only four buttons... Anyone know of someone who has done this, has a write up or anything? Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks Floydian, thats exactly what I was looking for. I think anyway. Couldn't find a nice circut to use, but I think i'll manage. Thanks!
it's a pretty simple circuit, easily adaptable too much cooler situations i'd use it but my new logitech keyboard drivers work the same way now (before it was only when winamp was the "active" window, now they do it while i play quake or whatnot ) haffun
http://www.rautermods.cjb.net/ rauter did this mod too cept his is with an Ir reciever which i think is a lot more useful, works with almost any standard remote, and i believe you can assign most all buttons for diff things
