Vectir is a PC remote control application that lets you control popular media or MP3 players such as Winamp, iTunes and Windows Media Player with a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone or infrared (IR) remote control. Vectir can also control other features of your operating system such as moving the mouse pointer, adjusting the master sound volume and shutting down your computer.

Vectir lets you load playlists, skip tracks or crank up the volume of your MP3 media player without having to be located at your computer. You may also setup a home theatre PC and use Vectir to watch movies from the comfort of your lounge suite or wherever you like.

To use Vectir, you will require a compatible hardware device such as a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone USB-UIRT or Tira-2   infrared receiver.
