AHA! - I just checked my stash of downloaded plugins (over the last few
months, I've downloaded just about every remote control type plugin that
ever been written!), and sure enough, there it was, just waiting for me to
try.

Hopped over to palm.com, DL'd the latest palm desktop, Installed PalmAMP
2.0, and I'm in like Flyn! - works a treat.

Now I just need to get a hotsync >cable< instead of my cradle, so I
can
stick the palm to the side of my bedside table with a bit of velcro or
something...

Cheers.
