Any apps that control pc music?

Hello, I want to have an app on my android that can control windows media music. Do they have one? Free or paid is fine. My idea is to have it so that we have a sort of jukebox and the android tablet or my droid can control the music, but it has to be easy enough of an interface.

One for photos would be great too.

-Thanks
 
Do you mean as a remote control? That would be cool, sit back and select the playlist on the desktop box playing thru the good speakers via the handset...

Wifi or Bluetooth or both? Maybe such an app exists??
 
I'm looking for an app i can put on my droid phone that will control the music on the computer, but I want the app to be simple enough that it's not confusing to people who come over and have never used it before. We want to setup a mock jukebox.

Those ones on lifehacker are pretty complex. Do you guys know of any simple ones? Or of someone who can code one (if for cheap)

-Thanks
 
I really like Audio Galaxy but it streams the music to your phone so you have to either bluetooth or head phone jack connect to a stereo. But it is simple and really awesome.
 
I just use Unified Remote's media controller. Once you have that turned on, the only things on the screen are play, pause, ff, rew,
 
1. Install the (free) WinAmp on your PC
2. Get the aWARemote for Android, it is a virtual remote control to the WinAmp on your PC. There's a trial version and paid version (I highly recommend the paid version)

Note: I was never a big fan of WinAmp until I found this. I went and bought an old laptop specifically for the purpose of becoming a music server to my stereo system. Works great!
