A Free and Neat Way to Control Music Playback

Anton D. Nagy | September 29, 2008 12:00 AM

LeVuHoang’s Crazy Muzik is probably the first G Sensor enabled application for Windows Mobile Professional Enabled Motion sensor equipped devices that lets you control music playback in a very new and cool way: by tilting/shaking.

This free application takes advantage of the G Sensor to read the orientation and movement of the device in order to automatically translate it into 5 Windows Media Player commands. Here’s how it goes: Tilting/Shaking Up opens Windows Media Player; when already running, the same action will Play or Stop your current playlist. Tilting/Shaking to the side (left or right) will execute the command of previous (left) or next (right) track in the playlist.

Crazy Muzik supports only Windows Media Player for now, but the author has plans to include also the HTC Music Player as a supported application. The only problem I found was that when excessive movement in pocket (ie while running), it will sometimes act weird.
