Product Description:

If you have ever wanted to remotely control a computer running iTunes then this is your solution. Using the remote Mac's Bonjour name or I.P. address you can control most of the basic iTunes functions without ever touching the remote Mac. Play/Pause the music, make new playlists, turn the volume up or down, search the music database, and have fun!

Any computer running iTunes can be controlled. Some of the controllable features include:
* Play/Pause
* Viewing of all playlists
* Adding/removing playlists
* Adding/removing tracks from playlists
* Complete equalizer control
* Ability to set track rating
* Repeat/random settings per playlist
* Search-as-you-type filtering of currently viewed playlist
* Adjustable window transparency

Other unique features include:
* iTunes like interface for ease of use
* Use IP Addresses or Bonjour names
* Optional compact player controller
* Each computer on a network can run their own copy - everyone gets control!
* Each copy of Remote iTunes stays in sync with the server, continually showing the current status

What's new in this version:

  • Remote iTunes is now Universal Binary
  • Fixed bug causing Volume slider to sometimes fail
  • Fixed bug causing the Playlist table to sometimes refresh twice, thus duplicating its contents twice.

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

I've tried on both Leopard and Snow Leopard and it doesn't appear to be working anymore.

Well, actually I just wanted play/pause, skip, and volume. This is way better. And it works flawlessly.

Remote iTunes Reviewgreat little prog. - Version: 1.0b Universal, 4/9/2008 08:44AM PST

Simple and works. Good start. I've tried all the remote controls out there and this is the best. Of course, after using it for a whole hour I already have requests...

Some ideas:

More sorting options- I use Album Artist, other people like other stuff. I guess right now it only sorts by artist?

Needs Airtunes remote speaker control. This is a must. And volume control for remote speakers would be great.

Local playback on the machine(s) running Remote iTunes.

CoverFlow! (I know this is a lot to ask).

Cache library contents during a session- Probably a refresh isn't necessary everytime you wander to another playlist and back to the main library.

Seems quirky when I perform a search and then click (double click?) on a column header (tried resorting). It returns to the main library and starts playing what seems like a random song.

Otherwise, amazing work! I look forward to paying for the release.
