Jukebox for Winamp -
 MP3 Jukebox Hardware Guide

Wireless Keyboards and Mouse Remote Controls 

The transmit unit, wireless keyboard unit, is a 88 keys keyboard with 12 multimedia function keys and 6 mouse buttons, the total 106 keys, with one intellipointer. The keys are all in the standard full size with 4mm travel, membrane key switch technology, and soft touch rubber dome feeling. Great compact keyboard when size is an issue.

IR9703 wireless keyboard contains one transmitter (keyboard unit) and one receiver (receiver unit).

I currently use this neat little, inexpensive wireless keyboard with my MP3 Jukebox system.  I use to use the X10 Mouse Remote but switched over to using this. The direct keyboard input slightly speeds up my input to search my massive MP3 collection.  I like the gyro mouse pointer and the compact size makes it manageable.  It also has decent range and good battery life.  You can find these little babies on sale for about $12!  Check below.

The mouse remote consists of a remote control and a wireless RF mouse receiver. The receiver is connected to your serial or PS/2 port and your existing mouse is connected to the socket on the receiver. This lets you use the remote as a wireless mouse.  Works on PCs with either serial or PS-2 mouse ports.  Also operates audio/video products, such as your TV, VCR, cable box, etc.

Includes-
Mouse Remote Control
Wireless RF receiver
Software driver

I use to use this X10 Mouse Remote with my home jukebox system.  You have complete control over the Jukebox for Winamp software with it.  The on-screen keyboards allow input for MP3 searching. Their advantage is their size.  They are well designed with the mouse pad control on the front and the mouse buttons on the back.  You do need to have a PS/2 or serial input to use it.  You can get these babies for about $35 with the $15 X10 Gift Certificate listed below.

An external PC-to-TV Video Converter is the easy way to go if you don't have a TV-Out connection on your video card. 

This is the least expensive external PC-to-TV video converter that I have found.  It is a fairly new product that I haven't tried yet but it is made by GrandTec USA who manufactures a wide range of these types of converters.  So I am assuming that they are reliable.  You can pick up one of these babies for about $32!

Multi-function Kits

Big Picture allows you to transmit the picture and sound from your PC (in your office) to your television (in your living room) so you can surf the Internet from the comfort of your couch!  Plus, you don't have to run any wires. Big Picture utilizes a Video Transmitter and Receiver that can send the picture and sound up to 100 feet away! 

Included with the kit is a wireless mouse remote which includes software so you can customize the buttons on your remote. The remote also serves as a universal remote. You also get a PC-to-TV converter as well as the Audio/Video transmitter and receiver.

This is a nice, affordable combo package. It includes the X10 Mouse Remote, an external PC-to-TV Video Converter and a Stereo Audio/Video Transmitter and Receiver.  This system works nice if your PC and entertainment system are in separate rooms and you don't want to run cables between the two.  The video converter only runs at 640x480 but that is okay since Jukebox for Winamp runs full screen at that resolution.  You can pick up this kit for only $85 with the $15 X10 Gift Certificate described  below.

GRAND ULTRAVIEW is a universal PC to TV converter with frame buffer architecture that gives sharp, stable image output to TVs. It's resolution support up to 1024x768. It features 360 degree remote MOUSE and remote controller. The universal compatibility of the Grand UltraView EX provides an excellent solution for presentations of every kind.

This is a Video Converter and Mouse Remote combo.  It is made by GrandTec and I haven't used this unit before.  But it does include two of the essential components of a entertainment center based MP3 Jukebox.  It is a little more expensive than the X10 Big Picture kit above, and you don't get the wireless transmitter and receiver.  But you do get a higher quality PC-to-TV Video Converter. You can find these units for about $106.
