t68/t61x as bt remote for winamp :)
what you'll need:
a bluetooth dongle (i have an InstantPAN Bluetooth USB Dongle)

how-to:
configure your bluetooth connection (more on this next time)
using explorer, navigate into My Bluetooth Places and find your phone.
double click on your phone.
right click on your the serial port icon you want to connect to and select connect (alternatively, you can just double click on the serial port)
if so configured you will be asked to pair your devices. pair your devices.
once you have successfully connected to your phone's serial port, right click on the serial port icon and click properties.
make a note of the com port being used, mine uses com 3. (this is actually defined in your bt's software configuration)

on your phone navigate to accessories (main menu > connectivity > accessories )

select a song from the playlist =)
PCControl is actually more than just a winamp remote control. you can also control your mouse (among other things). kudos to christersson.org for such a nifty little app =)
