WANNA HANDLE COMPUTER RUNNING WINAMP FROM UR MOBILE? HERE IT IS>>>
emused is a system which allows you to control Winamp and several other programs using your Nokia 7650 or 3650, or Sony Ericsson P800. It consists of two parts: a server program which runs on your PC, and a client program which runs on your phone. It allows you to do the following things:
- browse your music collection on your phone
- play any song supported by Winamp, including MP3s, CDs, MIDIs and playlists
- pause songs, stop them, fast forward and rewind, move around the playlist, and change the volume
- add songs to your playlist and use shuffle and repeat
- change the look of your player with skins
- stop or pause the music when you get an incoming call
- download music to your phone (WAV and MIDI formats supported)
- control Winamp 2, Winamp 3, Winamp 5, Windows Media Player 7 and PowerPoint Viewer 97
Bemused can control your PC using Bluetooth, infra-red, USB or GPRS. To use infra-red or USB, you must have PC Suite running on your PC. Also, in this case the connection must be initiated from the PC.
The latest version of Bemused is freely available from http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~ashley/bemused .
Requirements
————
- a Series 60 phone (such as the Nokia 7650 or 3650), or a UIQ phone (such as the Sony Ericsson P800)
Other phones, such as the Siemens SX-1, the Nokia 6600 and the Nokia N-Gage, should be able to run Bemused - your mileage may vary. This package supports Series 60 phones. There is another package available from the Bemused website which supports UIQ phones.
- a PC running Windows 95 or later
Daniel Winter has also ported the Bemused server to Linux! This program is available as a separate download from http://www.compsoc.man.ac.uk/~ashley/bemused .
- Recommended: a Bluetooth adapter plugged into the PC (supported adapters given below)
It’s also possible to run Bemused over infra-red, USB or GPRS, but Bluetooth is the best choice.
- Winamp version 1.4 or later

Installation
————
The Bemused server on your PC doesn’t require any installation; it consists of a single EXE which can be run from anywhere. It will create an INI file in the same directory that it’s run from.
The Bemused application for your phone is a standard SIS file which should be sent to your phone and installed. Note that there are two SIS files available: one which only contains the “Basic” skin, and one which contains several more.
Setup (using Bluetooth)
———————–
This is the best way to use Bemused. However, the setup process can be complicated. If you have any problems, see the “Troubleshooting” section below.
The first stage is to set up a virtual serial port for Bemused on your PC. This process is different for each Bluetooth adapter; the following steps apply to dongles running the Widcomm Bluetooth stack.
1. Right-click on “My Bluetooth Places” and select “Setup”.
2. Click on the “Local Services” tab and press the “Add serial service” button.
3. Note down which COM port this new service will use and press “OK”.
Now you can run the Bemused server application on the PC. You will need to enter the COM port to use, which should be the same as above. You also need to set the location of your music and the path to Winamp and any other applications you’d like to control, if you want them to be started automatically.
Hit the “Connect” button in the Bemused server window to start listening for commands.
Now you can run the “Bemused” program on your phone. Once the program is started, you can download a list of your music to your phone by selecting “Refresh list” from the Options menu. This will allow you to select songs and play them.
Setup (not using Bluetooth)
—————————
If you want to run Bemused over infra-red, USB or GPRS, or you are having problems getting Bluetooth working, or conflicts with PC Suite, this is the method to choose.
*** WARNING ***
This method involves the Bemused server on your PC listening on an Internet socket. Bemused doesn’t have any concept of authentication and hasn’t been audited for security holes. Therefore, you shouldn’t attempt this on a secure PC.
Start the Bemused server on the PC, and run through the steps of the setup wizard. If you don’t want to run Bemused over Bluetooth as well, leave the “COM port” setting blank. Once the server has started, select the “Listen on Internet socket” check box. The Bemused server is now listening on port 7654 for incoming connections from the phone.
The next step is to run the Bemused program on your phone. The first thing the program will do is attempt to download a list of songs over Bluetooth. Just select “Cancel” to cancel this process. Then select “Settings” > “Behaviour” from the “Options” menu. The second-to-last setting is the connection method.
If you want to use infra-red or USB, select “mRouter” here. If you want to use GPRS, select “The Internet” and enter the address of your PC in the “Server address” box.
Bemused should now try to use whichever connection method you’ve selected. Note that, if you want to use infra-red or USB, you must have a connection to your PC set up beforehand (using PC Suite).
Usage
—–
The Bemused application on the phone consists of three views: one for browsing your music, one for controlling playback, and one for viewing the current playlist. By default, you can move between these views using the arrow keys or the “abc” key.
In the Browse view, pressing in on the joystick when a file is selected will start playing it; pressing on a folder will enter that folder. You can press left to go up a level. These are the default settings, and can be changed in the “Settings” > “Behaviour” menu. There are also options to add files to the playlist or to download them, and to find files in your music collection.
In the Control view, you can move between buttons by pressing left and right on the joystick. Move up and down to change the volume. Shuffle and repeat are turned on and off from this view. Hold down the joystick on the Next and Previous buttons to access fast-forward and rewind. It’s also possible to shut down your PC when you’ve finished listening to music.
In the Playlist view, you can navigate the playlist, select a song to skip to, and also clear it.
There are a number of “hotkeys” in these views which allow you to perform frequently-accessed actions more quickly. Here is a list of them:
Browse view and playlist view hotkeys
————————————-
2: page up by one screen
3: find a song (3 = ‘f’)
6: find next occurrence of same song (6 = ‘n’)
7: add selected song to playlist (7 = ‘p’)
0: page down
Control view hotkeys
——————–
1: previous song (1st button)
2: play song (2nd button)
3: pause song (3rd button)
4: stop song (4th button)
5: next song (5th button)
Finally, the “Display Settings” and “Behaviour Settings” views allow you to control many aspects of the display and behaviour of Bemused. The list of settings here should be self-explanatory.
