iTunes 2 Remote

  • build type: Plain AppleScript
  • written by Diggory Laycock
  • posted: Nov 5, 2001
  • total downloads: 2604

From the author: "This script allows you to remotely control iTunes—useful if like me you have a server attached to an amp and a powerbook with airport ;) The script needs to be altered before it compiles - the hostname or ip address of the machine you want to control needs to replace the instances of myhost.domain.com."
