I just installed the new iPhone "remote" application that became available today. Phenomenal! It uses wi-fi to access and control the music library from iTunes. It even automatically shows all the cover art in the list of albums, and you can easily scroll through the list by flicking your finger. This works perfectly with n.music. I feel so foolish to have spent so many countless hours programming a limited number of albums/artists with cover art into my Beo5. This is what the Beo5 should be!!

It's in the new "applications" section of the iTunes Music Store. 

How brilliant to use wi-fi as the solution for 2-way remote communication. I wish B&O had incorporated something similar into the Beo5.

It seems that the the moderators moved this thread from the Beo5 forum. I initiated this thread intentionally in the Beo5 forum to generate discussion about the Beo5.

Yes - as per my more recent response.

app remote is GREAT!

 

how do you have it working with n.music?

I have AE plugged into my Aux 

 

I initially posted this in the main forum since I thought a general discussion would be better, but it was moved here - to a place where the true believers already live.

Hi,

Does anybody knows if this app also works on an Ipod Touch?

Kind regards

Hi Joost

Yes, it works just the same.  I've just bought an 8GB iPod touch, just to use as a remote :)

Works great on my 16 GB Touch. Defintly better than Remote Buddy to control iTunes (Remote Buddy is however still more versatile since you may control other apps on your Mac as well)

Someone in this thread mentioned it is for free. That's true but you have to buy the upgrade to 2.0 software firstly to be able to install any apps on an iPod / Iphone.
