An Alternative to the Clickwheel?

The clickwheel connector on my 60gig iPod Photo (Late 2004) became detached from the logic board, and since It's the second time this happens It can't be soldered anymore. What should I do to, at least, play the songs on my iPod?

For now I have considered two alternatives:

Purchasing an iPod FM Remote (The one that looks like an iPod Shuffle): Can I play or shuffle through the songs with this remote?

Purchasing a Targus AER0101US Wireless remote for iPod: Since here in my country I can't find the kind of Apple Remote that came with this iPod (M9128G/A) I could buy one of these.
