DS Misc > iTunes Remote Control?

#113115 - Lin459 - Sat Dec 23, 2006 8:43 am

Is there any program that'll allow me to control my iTunes with my DS?

There's DSAmp, but I really don't like WinAmp that much and I have all my playlists and music on iTunes.

Thanks. :)

Protip: Don't use iTunes. It's bloated proprietary shit.

All the music on commercial FM radio is "proprietary shit" too, but unfortunately, a lot of it isn't available for legit download except in iTunes Store.

Controlling iTunes by remote should be easy. If you want to hear it on your DS though, that's going to be much harder.

Yeah, I really don't want to listen to my music from my DS, I have much better speakers on my computer. :P

You can try DS2Key or one of those VPN type apps but they would be slower. I assume iTunes has some keyboard shortcuts and if it doesn't then you could use a mouse movement recording program and playback a macro with a hotkey.

I recommend using a WiiMote and bluetooth dongle instead but of course that costs extra and you already have a DS.

I control iTunes with my DS (on my Mac) using DS2Key and Sizzlingkeys which is an itunes controller app (map controls for itunes through keyboard shortcuts) I set all the buttons to F1-F4 and some others and then mapped those keys on DS2Key OSX and now i have a wireless iTunes controller :D Im assuming your running Windows? So you'd need to find a Windows equivalent to sizzlingKeys, which im sure you'll find pretty easily at somewhere like http://www.versiontracker.com
