I know 2 people who didnt read the description. ;)
The program is, in simpler terms, a fancy remote controle. It allowes you to create playlist and navigate the mp3s that are ON your PC, FROM your pocket pc. Normaly this isnt very usefull, but say you build a small pc, networked wirelessly, and hook it up to your stereo system in the other room. You could then, useing a wireless hookup on your pocket pc, controle the PC to play music.
The GUI is pretty spiffy, but a money maker? I dont think so. As it is, you can use VNC to graphicly control your PCs desktop over your network and it is absolutly free. And with VNC, you're not just limited to MP3s.
