TunesRemote+
TunesRemote+ helps you remote control your DACP-compatible desktop or laptop media player from your Android device, such as:
* MonkeyTunes for MediaMonkey
* Telescope for Songbird
* foo_touchremote for Foobar2000
* AlbumPlayer TouchRemote
The project was not being updated on Android Market yet many bug fixes and enhancements had been made by the community. Many Android owners had contacted the team about releasing an updated version on the market to no avail. Thus, the TunesRemote+ project was born so the project could live on and advance in the Android Market while being maintained by a larger group of members. The code is hosted on Google Code where issues, bugs, and patches may be submitted.

i used to have this app about two years ago on my OG droid and it worked pretty well other then the pairing issues but that was my phone. This app has been upgraded it looks completely new like my Baltimore ravens defense. THIS APP is EPIC play COD you dont have to go the computer just look at your phone to change the song. and there's a swipe feature how could you go wrong. GREAT JOB. was a 3 two years ago now a strong 5
Notification controls are extremely useful, and the music selection with android-style lists is just so sleek. However, I do miss the big album artwork in the center of the player; right now, the song info is covering so much of it...
The app itself would be great (except that it doesn't scale the album art very nicely) but the constant hassle with iTunes (all versions up to v12.3.2 so far) forgetting the remote and the lottery called pairing spoils all fun! When I haven't used the app for a day or so, I can be sure, that it won't connect to my old MacBook (used as media player) and iTunes only accepts its pairing requests when it has a good day (which means maybe once per week). Later edit: gave up on it - essentially useless!
Does absolutely everything it should. My only complaint is nitpicky, and not in any way something I'd mark off a star for... a scaled tablet version with all the functional buttons on screen would be /awesome/.
I am stuck in a loop of trying to pair my phone (ZTE Axon 7 running Nougat 7.0) with MediaMonkey and MonkeyTunes. It just keeps adding my phone and asking for codes and doesn't get any further. It adds multiple copies of my phone but never gets to the point of allowing access. Please fix because without this I am back to using iTunes. EDIT: uninstalling E Milles Remote speakers output plugin seems to fix it. Given that life with that plugin isn't great, I am now trying to get things working over DLNA. Does TunesRemote work with DLNA speakers please? If so then am up to 5 stars and a huge fan and would happily pay.
Looks like it would work well but I can't get it to show a remote button in new itunes
Works well Works the best If the speaker volume could change as you moved the slider not as you let off of it I would be happier And if there was an option to wake the computer screen because my audio turns off when the screen turns off(not the remote's fault) but other than that, amazing
The app overall is brilliant. But there's a slightly annoying problem with the 'now playing'; when you sey it to playlist, it always starts at the top, which means it's quite laborious to choose songs at the bottom of the playlist.
Used to be able to control iTunes prior to a device wipe. After device wipe, it would find iTunes but iTunes would never complete pin verification. Now it doesn't find iTunes after attempting setup again.
Took me a while to figure out how to do the pairing on iTunes, but once that was out of the way the app did exactly what it's supposed to do. Highly recommended.
Does everything I want fast easy to use. I was amazed how well this worked with my Mac. The only thing I thing could help make it better is if it had a widget so I could control it without going into the app.\
excellent app, just what i wanted as apart from a mac mini as a home cinema driver, everything else is android. keeps stopping on both phones. but can live with that for free
I like this program as it works with MediaMonkey BUT it is SO DIFFICULT to get it to "pair" with MediaMonkey that I want to tear my hair out.
Been using this for my iTunes remote for a while now and have seen major improvements over time. It's very simple to set up and easy to use. I highly recommend this app.
A few freezes randomly. But it looks fantastic, and works great.
Used to work like a charm, now it crashes every time the song changes on the pc.
Once monkeytunes and ports are all setup correct it works great. Looks great on a nexus 7 dock as well
Seems to work pretty well. Occasional force close on Xperia, but picks up where it left off. Thanks!
All of us sometimes think "that'd be cool if I could...". For me, it was controlling music from anywhere in my house without needing line of sight to the receiver, or the remote to the stereo. With this app, I can do just that. The developer is among the best I've ever seen- personalized help and follows through all the way to when you have the solution.
It may be a little glitchy occasionally but it gets the job done and has some great features!
But need widget as notification bar crashes constantly.
Like it, but having difficulty connecting to ITunes 11.4
Control your Itunes from anywhere your wifi reaches.
Hit and miss wheather it works or not. Often it works only for one song and then it seems to disconnect, im 100% sure nothing is wrong with my wifi. Music will be playing but nothing shows up under "now playing" and list of songs/artists is blank and never loads. On the off chance it is working this is a 5 star app.
