    Software idea

    How can I do the following:

    - When I open my list of songs, I want the folder to have focus. The way it is now, After double clicking a song, the player has focus..I'd like a simple way to go back to the songs folder, without using the mouse, so I can continue to scroll through songs

    - I'd like to use the scroll wheel on my mouse to go through songs one by one. As if i were pressing the down or up arrow keys. And clicking down on the scroll wheel plays the song.

    - This is probably the tricky part..when a song is highlighted (like when i click on it) I'd like the text to get bigger. Then when i move on to the next song, it goes back to normal size, and the next song I'm on is bigger.

    - Right clicking the mouse pauses the song

    - Left clickig the mouse adds the song to a play list.

    I have no problem using another kind of media player if it makes things easier. Currently, I'm using WMA..just haven't downloaded another player yet.

    I know some, if not all of these things are probably pretty simple to do, but I'm not too sure how. Any suggestions on software, or even more specifically what to search for would be much appreciated

    yeah? I downloaded a trial version but didn't get too far with it. Guess I'll mess around with it more.

    Thanks for the reply

    Any other suggestions?

    I find it hard to believe that remapping the buttons on a mouse is so complicated. I can't get girder to recognize my mouse as a "remote"..everytime i try and train it it doesn't take, because it still only sees it as a mouse.

    No one has any other suggestions? I didn't think this would be this complicated...im starting to think it might be easier just to get a cheap remote....

    you might wanna check out the Logitech® MediaPlay™ Cordless Mouse

    Combined with freeware uberOptions you can remap all of the 13 buttons and it automatically choose the profile dependig on which app is active

    The mouse also have a long range and it is not bulky.
