iTunes Remote

Most underrated app out there. Full control of my music library from the comfort of my backyard. I stream my music from my Mac to an Apple TV connected to my stereo with speakers wired throughout the property. I can dial up any tune I want while sitting by the pool and can even turn the volume down when my wife gives me that look.

If Apple could enhance the capabilities to include functions allowing tagging and metadata modification that would be very useful.

I used iTunes remote to control my iTunes server from my pool for years. This was a great app that allowed me to change music and control my iTunes server while in the pool without having to have my phone. I’ve spoken with many people who did the same thing and would appreciate having the app back on Apple Watch. Apple bring this back to your loyal users.

It’s pretty pathetic that Apple has not updated this app to handle Apple Music remotely. How many years is it going to take?

Best app ever

I used to love iTunes Remote but now it will play only one song at a time from an album unless you select shuffle. You can no longer play an album in the song order.

I’ve ripped all of my CDs, and neighbors’ as well, onto a an external drive attached to my Mac Mini M2 at lossless quality. I use this app to stream music from the computer to a Bluesound node attached to my stereo amp. I can also access the music files through my two AppleTV devices. I have access to my music pretty much though out my house.

I’ve been using iTunes Remote for years to control the Music app on my Mac, which feeds a dedicated DAC and Yamaha stereo amplifier. For that setup, this app is indispensable.<br/><br/>Instead of walking back to the computer every time I want to change an album, adjust the queue, or search my library, I can do it all from my listening chair.<br/><br/>What I appreciate most is that Apple has kept this app simple. It isn’t overloaded with unnecessary features—it just reliably controls my Mac-based music library from anywhere in the house. For anyone who uses a Mac as the heart of a system, iTunes Remote remains one of Apple’s most underrated apps.<br/><br/>Five stars. I just hope Apple continues to support it for many years to come.
