I have a wireless network in my house and I am using Media Jukebox server on my main PC and have a laptop connected to my amp and speakers. This works brilliantly but the laptop takes up a bit much room. Is there anyway I can use my Pocket PC (Compaq ipaq 3630) as the client end of Media Jukebox?
Thanks in advance ;)

If you install the Web Remote interface plug-in (available on our plug-ins page) on your main PC, you can access its library and play music, but it will play on the main PC. Long audio cable?
-
web remote doesn't fill this need, Jim. The need is to play music locally, connected to Media Server.
It seems that instead of to develop a pocketPC (and PalmOS) client, it would be better to develop an "http media server" in order to can use any browser on any platform.
Wireless audio with pda can be a new market for MJ !

Take a look at the slimmp3 device at slimdevices.com. We may support it from an MJ library.
You would need an Ethernet connection at your amp.

No, that doesn't fill my need.
I would like:
-media server running on my desktop
-myself listening music with headphones connected on a wireless pda with a client which let me to browse and play music from media server
-
I agree
I've already spent $$$$'s on a PDA, I want to use that
-
Microsoft do an embeded Windows media player for web pages, something like this to interface to MJ Server would be cool.
