Yes this feature is requested for MP3 playback(audio files).
Wiimote range is great and works very well in other rooms and such.
So if your not in front of your TV you cannot control music playback.
Maybe up/down to browse thru the song (great for audiobook/podcasts) and left/right to play last /next song.
1 to toggle the cover? 2 to toggle screensaver:)
