PadrinatoR has come up with an interesting system to use with both the DS and the PC.

The program in question is called DSAmp, which allows you to basically use your Nintendo DS as a remote control for the Winamp program on your PC. It allows you to turn Winamp on or off, make the Winamp go fullscreen on the PC, and pick the songs you want to listen to.

Scary how you can actually do that, if you think about it. Still, for lazy fellows who want to listen to music on speakers but don't want to sit in front of the comp to change the tunes, this seems like a pretty smooth way of doing it.

Here are the general release notes:

Requirements:
- .NET Framework 2.0
- You must have the port 32123 UDP opened in your router.

Step by step guide:
1) Install .NET Framework 2.0 (if it's not installed yet)
2) Run the server app (DSAmpServer.exe). If you have Windows Firewall enabled, it will ask you if you want to lock the application. You must choose Unlock. It doesn't matter if Winamp isn't opened, because you can open and close it from NDS.
3) Switch on you DS and run DSAmp. It will ask you for host's IP, enter it and click OK.

Enjoy!

Will be good for a Friday night when I listen to my PC in the bath but can't change track. Now I can just keep my DS lite in the bathroom.

Of course, there's another way to do this -- just point the DS Opera Browser (when it's released...) to the IP address of your machine that's running BrowseAMP. Much simpler, huh?
