Hi all - I'm sure this info is somewhere in this forum but I can't find it. I am looking for an app to control iTunes on my Mini which I have set up as a home entertainment system. Currently I have to have the big screen on to see and move around in iTunes but that is often distracting when I just want to play music. Is there an app that will replicate the iTunes screen that is on the Mini and allow me to control it?

I have MobileAirMouse which is great but I still need the big screen on to start playing music.

Thanks
PBJ
 
i assume you don't know about the "remote" app from apple that is in the app store ?
 
Thanks

Thanks suss2it that's very helpful.

The crazy thing is if you search the iTunes store for "remote control app" you only get some dog whistle app. Lame, possible fail.:(:apple:

Would it kill you to be more useful? Evidently he does not.

That's an app released by Apple that let's you control your iTunes with an iPhone/iPod Touch on the same Wi-Fi network.

what.. other than giving the name of the app, who made it, and where to get it from? all 3 pieces of information i gave.

wow you're so great you posted the link... can i be in your gang?

if you search for "remote" though then that app is the first on the list.
