A program that lets you control iTunes from any browser over your home network. Pick artists, albums, or your available iTunes playlists; control play and pause, set the volume and see what’s currently on the air.
Best of all PatioTunes is simple. There’s nothing to setup. No web server settings to configure. Double-click to start and leave running day and night on any iTunes Mac with a connection to your home network.
I like the mac's dont have any virus's lol your asking for trouble there:P If there was as many mac's out there as there are pc's it would be no different.Mac's are stable yes(for now lets see what intel does to them).As for being better hmm nah i get more out of my pc than the mac.Unless you are in the audio/video businessin some way shape or form then yes go mac. but if everyone and thier brother was writing software for the mac i might say mac but then again if that was true it would prolly have the same trouble as the pc:/
Hrm. If I use my other laptops or my gaming rig it works so-so. The itty-bitty PSP screen is useable but, Coverbuddy actually has two interfaces, one small just for the PSP.
And my biggest problem with Patiotunes (other than the occasional PSP lockups) is that so far, I don't see any way to organize the artist list alphabetically. 1400 artists in random order. That goes over like a fart in church.
Really, Macs are the reason that your on a Windows PC. Think about it, if there was no Apple, where would Mr. Gates have stole his ideas from ?"
Two gradudates from MIT.
The first guys who worked for ARPAnet. Contrary to popular belief, Macs were NOT where Windowed interfaces and the use of a mouse came from. These same guys also came up with ways to set up a network that treated remote files on other computers as if they were local...(i.e. TCP). And once again, these APRAnet men played a major role in open source, which laid the backbone for much of the internet we know today. (With at the time, government support). It wasn't until the ARPAnet wars as they are called that Bill Gates and at the time Netscape employee Steve Jobs begain to privatize standards, and become the robber barron, monopolizing jerks they are when they found out how much you could do with standardizing the internet.
</totally unrelated history fact>
It's nice to see a lot of constructive comments about this software coming from zealots on BOTH sides.
But it's not a big deal since as near as I can tell this program is pretty useless itself. It seems buggy, at least with the PSP browser. It's interface (when the PSP isn't locked up) leaves much to be desired.
Mac users (zealots and sane folk alike) should look at CoverBuddy. I didn't like that one overmuch at first, but it works like it's supposed to.
I wouldn't mind seeing a PC program of this type either. My PC has more storage space than my Powerbook so I wouldn't have to leave the external hard drive on all the time.
Steve Jobs a Netscape employee... mmm, never heard that one! It's been my understanding that the 2 Steves (Jobs/Woz) were shown the original mouse and window interface at PARC... IBM's Palo Alto Research Center, computer science think tank. The boys were allowed to "use" the idea, took it back to their garage workshop and the rest is history. But then again... I may be wrong, have before and I'm sure I will again!
