Music trigger to PC

Hello everyone,

I am looking for a way to play music from my PC with a command from the arduino UNO. I want it to play an ambient soundtrack continuesly and when a switch is used it has to fade the ambient soundtrack and start to play another soundtrack. When that soundtrack is finished the ambient music has to fade back in.

PS: I think using VLC media player is a good idea because that's the most open source.

I hope someone can help me and that you can read my english because I'm from the netherlands.

One way would be to make your arduino into a keyboard and then use hotkeys in VLC media player.
