You can use the built-in global hotkeys or just leave foobar as active window and use normal shortcuts.
It is pretty cool.
I am using: Sony Ericcson K600i with a .hid (Human interface device) file.

i'm using the normal "media player" remote which is built in my w810i, but foobar must be the active window, cause it simulates(?) the keys...
now u just have to config the "pressed" keys as hotkeys in foobar

the "bindings" from my w810i
VolUp       F10
VolDown    F9
1      Shift Ctrl B
2      ctrl P
3      Shift Ctrl F
4      Ctrl B
5      Ctrl S
6      Ctrl F
7      F8

e:\ oh, withoutfoobar as active window... didnt read that, looking for that, too.
with fb2k 0.8x i think there was a plugin, which even sends the current information to your cell

Define your hotkeys as global hotkeys, then foobar doesn't have to be active.

That's strange because on my K600i it asked if it should be installed....

Play = ctrl + p
Stop = ???
Next = ???
Prev = ???

Vol up/down = ???/???
Mute = ???

Thank you for this, it worked perfectly . Unlike my Wiimote

Anyway of getting the Now Playing text onto the phone?

Hmm, using foo_run it should be possible to run a batch file that loads Now Playing info to text file then sends that text file to phone. I can then call this function using the phone. My phone doesn't break remote control when it sends/receives files.

Got this working nicely, this is the contents of the batch file which is run via a keyboard shortcut in foobar which is called via a keypress on the phone.

DEL "C:\nowplay.txt"
set i=C:\nowplay.txt
echo %1>>%i%
CALL "C:\Program Files\Belkin\Bluetooth Software\btsendto_explorer.exe" -BD_ADDR=00:16:20:c6:05:5a -BD_NAME=Plau -DEV_CLASS=00262738 %i%

Took me forever to work out the parameters for btsendto_explorer.exe to make it send to a specific bluetooth device without needing to select it on the computer.

More fun,

%1 is %path%

CALL "C:\Program Files\Belkin\Bluetooth Software\btsendto_explorer.exe" -BD_ADDR=00:16:20:c6:05:5a -BD_NAME=Plau -DEV_CLASS=00262738 %1

Using a keyboard shortcut I can, with one key press, send the now playing track to the phone.
