Control Winamp with your DS

The DS is a wonderful machine, capable of interacting with a PC in imaginative ways. Now, the clever homebrew community, has come up with a way for the DS to control Winamp. Should any of you DIY-ers out there wish to film yourself giving this a go, send us a link and like Doc Holliday, we'll make you famous.

Now how about someone coming up with a way to stream music or video from Winamp onto the DS?

Might've been possible...Had the DS browser included sound (it doesn't right?).

I meant, sounds from the online browser, not sounds from the GUI. All you need to stream audio from your computer is an RSS feed (Another thing I don't know if the DS browser supports).

As the matter of fact, the feature you're 'requesting' has already been made, long before this: http://forum.gbadev.org/viewtopic.php?t=9648

And one of the most professionally made DS homebrew is DSOrganize - it even supports streaming audio!: http://www.dragonminded.com

Totally awesome.
That homebrew works perfectly. Very useful to decrease the volume when you're AFK.

Does this also work on a DS Lite?
