Use your iPhone to remotely control iTunes

I’ve thought for some duration that it would be awesome whether I could control iTunes from my iPhone. I tend to just let my tunes play all through my house, as my speakers can be heard all through most of the house. Unfortunately when I want to pause the music or change a song, I have to run to my computer. Well it seems that Apple already has something up their sleeve in that agency.

For those that have downloaded the pre-release version of iTunes 7.7 (for developers) there was a little something snuck into that pesky ‘Read Me’ that most of us simply skip through. The critical snipit is below.

Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music,

video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. plus use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.

I would venture to guess that you’ll be limited to controlling iTunes on only the PC that the iPhone is synced with, which shouldn’t be an issue for most humans. that specific feature had been rumored to be coming since late April. It’s good to see some of these rumors coming true.
