Hi,

ther is remote control available for the serial port, but as usual 
drivers only for MS stuff. If wanted I can search for the source of it.

By the way, to my ears neither the CD nor the MP3 formats are 
accaptable (Well cds might be ok if I could get my hands on an 
Audio Resaerch CD2 player/Dac combo).
