Will a FLIRC enable me to use an apple remote with my PC?

[Zevyr]

My question is: 

If I get a FLIRC will I be able to use an apple remote with it to control some simple media keys on my PC?

Why use an apple remote? Because it looks decent and actually isn't too pricey, also it will cover the keys I'm interested in (play/pause, volume up/down, next track/last track).

 

Cheers,

Paul

Yep, the older remote uses IR signals and should work great for your purposes. Just a quick note, the newer remote with the touchpad will not work, because only the volume buttons are IR.

Thank you.
