[senit] Re: [sld-forum] switch activated music

thanks for all your replies . To clarify, I am looking for a way of doing

One way may be to hack into the IR hand controller pause button, but that 
would require a little gizmo to give two timed switch inputs - not 
difficult to do but I don't know of any commercial manufacturers of such a 
device.

A sixth form electronics student could do it.
