eyeTuner: Control iTunes Through Your Pocket PC
Posted by marlof in "SOFTWARE" @ 05:00 AM
So... you have your PC running iTunes in the basement, an Airtunes Express AP hooked up to your stereo in your living room, and you want control over what you're going to play next without having to walk to your basement all the time? Enter eyeTuner, an application under development using the iTunesCOMSdk. Jeff Schilling states he has a working version now that does a ton of things, except playing radio playlists which seems to have to do with the SDK limitations. What cool stuff can it do? Access a list of iTunes sources (cd, playlists, ipod, etc), select a track or artist, select next, previous, or pause, and display album art on the now playing page. :werenotworthy: For the developers among you: on the blog page covering eyeTuner, you can find a description and examples of part of the code that is used to create this. As an avid iTunes user (on both my Mac and my PC) I personally can not wait to get my hands on this. Jeff, you need a beta-tester? ;)
