Is there a program that allows me to use my PPC to remote contol Windows
Media player on my PC as well as show info on current track playing?

Yes, exactly that : It's called "Vinyl" though somehow their website
disappeared some months ago, it's still loaded on the web archive site

I've tried it and it's very very good - even supports album artwork if
you've got it available for your album metadata. It will also work
with Winamp 3.

There's a client for the PC and another you need to install for the
pocket PC, but both come in the downloaded installer.

tutorial:

Google for 'VinylServer' and 'Rudeo' and that should give you two more
options. VinylServer is free and Rudeo is reasonably inexpensive.
