Music ?

My buddy quit his job for a local radio station in LA recently, and before he left he copied their entire MP3 library

The other day I copied his Billboard Hot 100 for the years 1959 - 2000, 19 gig.

Picked up a Roku Labs SoundBridge and it connects to my wireless network...I use iTunes to 'share' the music and all is well.

My question is: is there a way to control the music going from my PC to the SoundBridge from the PC, instead of using the remote control? I've been searching the net for answers and came accross a few developers who have written their own programs...none of which worked for me.

Hook a brother up and spare me the port in a storm shite. :wink:

I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish. This remote can be used with your computer along with your home theatre.

edit: nevermind, it isn't what I thought it was.

The music bridge comes with a remote, but I was thinking it would be easier to control the bridge from the computer instead of the handheld remote. The UI would be a lot easier that way.

That's what I figured. I thought that remote could control your computer, but it only works if you have a Windows Media Center PC. There are remotes by ATI that do work.

You can try media sofware like Media Portal, GB-PVR or MythTV. The plus of all of these is, if you add a tuner card you can turn your computer into a PVR that rivals a Tivo.

You might also want to consider a Shuttle Media Center PC.
