PatioTunes is a program that lets you control iTunes from any browser over your home network. PatioTunes is simple. There's nothing to setup, no Web Publishing to enable, no Apache web server to tweak, no vulnerabilities to fear. Double-click to start and leave running day and night on any iTunes mac with a connection to your home network.

PatioTunes will list the internal URL that it's listening on and wait for you to fire up your browser in some other room of the house. PatioTunes lets you pick artists, albums, or your available iTunes playlists, control play and pause, set the volume and see what's currently on the air. In Version 1.6 you can even use your Palm to quickly create a PatioTunes playlist. Try PatioTunes for free.

Under the hood PatioTunes is a tiny web server with one (and only one) mission in life: receive requests from a specific web page on the internal network and turn those requests into calls to iTunes via AppleScript commands. There's no security risk.
