Walkman Remote

[project-2501]

Would it be at all possible to modify a minidisc or mp3 player in-line remote so that you could control an mp3 application, or even relay mp3 titles back to the screen on it?

Maybe it could combine both the headphone socket and the ext port, one for audio the other for control.

you mean something like that:

Note: not the MD-Player itself, the slim thing above it! Well, It would be nice, not sure if tit would be possible.

Yes exactly that kind of thing, in fact that's the same one i have

yeah, i got one, too. But mine is different (i have an older model of a sony MD-recorder), it doesn´t have a display for example. But from a look on the pic, it seems to have a similar connector.

I just thought that if someone can make a driver for the chatboard then this sort of thing shouldn't be much of a problem. :unsure:

well, If I had one of those controls in spare, I wouldn´t mind opening one, in order to have a look at the internals and posting it, so someone who knows about electronics could have a look at it. But if I open my one and only remite, I can´t use it on my MD anymore
