Tunes Remote Introduction

AlbumPlayer Tunes Remote Add-On is a Digital Audio Control Protocol (DACP) Server Add-On for AlbumPlayer to allow remote control of your music anywhere in your house. This Add-On is developed in cooperation with Melloware which company delivers the server and interface to contact the mobile device. (DACP) is the protocol used by ITunes to be controlled remotely. But AlbumPlayer users probably dont like to use iTunes. Tunes Remote now bridges the gap giving the power of the Apple Remote with the power of AlbumPlayer! Google Android users are not left out as TunesRemote+ and Hyperfine Remote for iTunes can be found on the Android Market. Windows Phone 7 users are not left out thanks to Komodex Remote for Windows Phone 7.

Limitation Remark:The Add-On is standard included in the AlbumPlayer but has demo limitations, it requires a license fee to make it fully functional. Read more about the demo limitations and ordering here:  Ordering Tunes Remote
