Remotely control Winamp from any Android tablet or phone

This was mentioned incidentally in a previous post but I wanted to give it its own post because it is so cool. This app called aWARemote – remote control for Winamp consists of two parts: the part that is run on the phone or tablet, and the server which is run on the PC. Using it is as simple as installing both parts. One can then remotely control Winamp with the phone or tablet and have access to searching through music libraries, opening playlists, equalizer functions, etc. Basically everything one can do from Winamp’s main interface on the PC one can do remotely via aWARemote.

In order to set the server to run automatically every time Windows starts aWARemote server must be launched in Administrator mode by right-clicking on the icon and selecting “Run as Administrator”. There’s an option on the lower right of the window to start automatically with Windows.

As long as the server is running on the PC aWARemote has the ability to completely start or stop Winamp.

I rank this as among the best apps running on my tablet.
