Many people are familiar with the Apple iTunes Remote, an application for the iPhone and iPod touch created by apple to interface with and remotely control (over wifi) the playback from your computer. Unfortunately it only works with iTunes. Until recently this was the only software of its kind I was aware of. I was quite pleased with the software but as a Linux user it was of little use to me. I would sometimes use it when a friend’s computer would be available, but other than that I had to relied on a VNC to remotely control playback from my own computer.
