Product Description:
browserTunes allows you to remotely control iTunes from any web browser. Just point the browser to http://yourmac:8080 and you can play songs, pause, get information about the song playing, view and play playlists. browserTunes works fine for PDA browsers and perhaps also with phone-based. So if you have an Airport Express in your living room and your computer with iTunes in the basement, you can control the music from a handheld browser.
What's new in this version:
- Updated graphical web user interface from Pixel Art (still experiental, only seems to work with Safari and Opera)
- You can now list your playlists without having to play/pause first
- Fixed previous button getting chopped off in list playlist mode
- Other small bugs
Operating System Requirements:
This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:
- Mac OS X 10.3
Additional Requirements:
- Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
iTunes 4.6

I actually found this while looking at what the iTunes remote options are for my wife when I, and my Salling Clicker-enabled phone, are nowhere to be found. After playing with more than a few remotes, I think this is the best of the bunch. I agree that having a way for the client to log off would be nice, and I really think the equalizer should have a presence (though I guess I could set equalizer presets in the ID3 tags... but I'm not sure many people would think of that). A sliding scale, or a pulldown menu, for the volume would also be nice so you have an idea as to what the present volume level is at, though it isn't pressing. Also not pressing, but would be nice, is a way for the end user to customize the graphics in the "Fancy" view. Good job! I look forward to checking out future releases

great idea and needed. definitely off to a very good start. the presentation in HTML is really nice, and although i haven't tried it, the PDA interface could be very useful also. but a number of problems and areas for improvement. first of all, does not handle very large itunes files very well. seems to have a limit in fact of around 32K songs (like the old versions of iTunes). docs are mostly lacking, and there are many unexplained prefs. (most people won't understand what SQL is supposed to do, for example, and simply how to address the server (ie http://localurl:port#) not explained (i don't think). unclear how often the library has to be updated (why not use apple events to get playlist names, and then update library on a definable schedule for searching?) the interface is not standard. (default buttons are in flat grey not blue). there should be a way to disconnect client side (lags on itunes server side freeze up safari on client side). "fancy" interface would be nice customizable.

As a bonus, you can use this to control iTunes from work if you have a shoutcast server running.
The download link is broken. I already informed the author. In the meantime, a quick Google search will find you a copy somewhere on the internet. The only glitch I've found is that it can occasionally hang if you switch to the "Library" playlist if you have a huge collection. The Search feature works very well and is certainly my favorite feature.
Hey, you can't beat the price, either!
