This is probably the final release of rTunes, I’ve converted the tool to AJAX and barring a few minor concurrency issues with the single threaded web server I’m using (which I’m not planning to fix) it all works nicely. I’ve added a slider for the volume and integrated the playlist picker into the graphic.

It also turns out that iTunes offers no programmatic way to select the AirPort Express you want send music to. A big thumbs down to you Apple.

I’ve had some requests for the ability to pick music from your library, but at this time I have too many other things to work on.

Enjoy…

I’ve made the interface look much nicer and more compact. Photoshop is about as intuitive as lisp. I plan to add a slider for the volume control, still not sure about the best way to integrate the playlist picker.

I just released rTunes 0.5 which is a simple self contained web server that is used to remotely control Apples iTunes. I created this becuase my AirPort Express sometimes causes iTunes to freeze up, and this remote access allows me to restart iTunes with out having to run up a flight of stairs, and I saw something on Engadget to do this, but you had to install a Web Server, and PHP and then load the scripts, etc. Frankly I want something simple, no installers with a very small footprint and hopefully a single binary. I think rTunes fits the bill.
