Product Description:
Drive by wire.
If you're using one to connect to an audio system with AirPort Express (or directly), you've no doubt noticed one big problem: there's no built-in remote control!
If you're connecting to a stereo in the same room, or from the computer you're working at, that's one thing -- but then what's the point of AirPort Express?
If it's in a different room, though -- how can you really control it, without any compromises?
netTunes. The ultimate iTunes remote!
netTunes lets you control iTunes running on one Macintosh from another, using iTunes' native interface. You get the same main window, the same playlists, the same capabilities -- everything!
This is incredibly handy for users who are using iTunes to feed an audio system, either directly or with AirPort Express. You no longer have to walk over there to select your music, nor do you have to put up with a semi-functional "remote control" program to change or (even worse) find songs.
With netTunes, you simply connect to the server and take complete control of iTunes from the comfort of your current computer. It's that easy -- as easy as iTunes itself!

What's new in this version:
- Significant performance improvements. We've come up with some new ideas and have once again significantly improved the performance of netTunes!
- Improved demo period experience. When the demo period expires, the expiration dialog now tells the user they can evaluate for another 30 minutes by re-starting the server.
- Fixed port release problem. When manually specified, netTunes did not properly release one port on termination; this would prevent the server from being restarted. The error has been corrected.
- Finder info more complete. All netTunes components now indicate their build and version in the Finder get info strings.
- Faster 'forced' server sleep. The netTunes Server will now allow the server to go to sleep more quickly when sleep is specifically requested by the user.

This is the worst shareware I have ever tried, if you do not purchase the software it will screw up your connection with Airport Express. Do not download unless you plan to buy. The default shuts off your connection every 30 minutes (so it says) it now turns off my connection every 5 minutes. I had to uninstall and then reboot (believe it or not) for my itunes to work again with my airport express.
Very angry at this developer.

Ingenious little solution to controlling an iTunes on one computer via any other computer on the network. I've been using it for two years, and it really works well for me. My setup is an iMac that holds the music library, which I control, via airport, from my laptop across the room. I use it all the time, and it's been steady and reliable for me. Developer replies to inquires, including tips to configure the firewall settings to make it work (an issue that wasn't covered well in the documentation).
Read the FAQ on Shirtpocket's discussion page if you're using a firewall and get a spinning ball -- simple fix.
If you want to remotely control iTunes, this is the best I've seen. I've used a few programs on a Palm and a Windows Mobile cell phone and both were buggy and frustrating to install and use. After two days of using netTunes, its seamless, responds quickly and completely stable.
Good, the Squeezebox goes in the trash where it should have gone years ago.
