nTunes Description

Control the iTunes on the stereo from any other Mac on the network Got two Macs? Got one hooked up to speakers? Want to use iTunes to play music instead of CDs, but don't want to attach a keyboard and mouse to your stereo? Use this handy little app to control the iTunes on the stereo from any other Mac on the network. Now with a rudimentary jukebox function to use at parties. nTunes is a little network iTunes remote control script for Mac OS XNote: To use the application you have to tailor it to your system. It should be easy, it just involves altering an Applescript in two places. There are instructions in each version. What's New in This Release: It was created in XCode 2.0 in OS X 10.4.3. That might mean it's a universal binary, so it might work on the forthcoming Intel Macs... but I'm not really sure about that, and am too lazy to find out definitively. It also gives the app a 'metal' theme rather than the old Aqua one. Lots of people hate metal, but nTunes is supposed to mimic a physical remote control that you hold in your hand, so the theme is appropriate. I also happen to think it looks better in this particular app, and I like that you can drag the app around from any part of it rather than just from the title bar. The shuffle toggle and volume bar are even more responsive in this version; both will change to reflect the music server's actual state whenever you click one of the other buttons (e.g. if you change the volume in some other manner, you can make nTunes's volume bar reflect the current actual volume by simply pausing and unpausing the music). Last but not least, I've added a whole new crapload of code to create a jukebox function. It's crude but it works.
