Audio signal produced by a computer while playing computer audio content (such as audio files, real-time streaming audio, internet radio stations, etc.) is transmitted to remote location in the home and reproduced by a home audio system. The method is provided for remote navigation through such audio content and for playback control. Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is used as a user interface device at the preferred user location. Standard infrared (IR) port of the PDA is used for the command transmission. Alternatively, a standard IR remote control device can be used for a limited interface. A specialized adapter placed at the user location is receiving command signal from PDA device and retransmitting it to the computer, thus allowing user to be located at sufficient distance from the computer.
