man, this took awhile to cook up, but it was worth it. using an ir transmitter from griffin and included pocket pc software, i recorded the "sounds" my remotes to the dvd player, tv, etc� make and then imported them to my pc. after that, i changed the sounds and then put them on the ipod, an ipod with the ir transmitter as opposed to headphones. and then i used my ipod to control my time, handy to set up playlists for macros (turn on tivo, media center, tv�).
make an ipod a universal remote control

(Page 1)2. it sounds like a good idea but maby all you need is to plug it into, either the mic port or the line in port and record it with an advanced editing program then mute the right sound and copy it to any mp3 player

1. Very good i dont know how you thought of it, one let down is that you have to have a pocket pc (which i dont have) but if you have its worth a try although you can buy universal remotes for cheaper.
