The Dude Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I was looking for any Android based apps that control windows media player 12, or Itunes. I want to be able to go either into my living room with my main system or into my basement with another, and be able to play different music from different players simultaneously. I think PSG does something like this, but don't understand fully. you guys understand what I am would like to do and know how to do it let me know thanks.

KdAgain Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 As I mentioned in your other thread JRiver Media Center 17 has a remote control application for Android phones called Gizmo. I have no experience with it but have used MC for several years and find it to be an outstanding program for it's SQ and organizational abilities. rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockOn4Klipsch Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 As said in the other thread, each system would have to be assigned it's own IP address for the phone to operate 2 systems via winamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockOn4Klipsch Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 android app to control itune : http://phandroid.com/2008/10/09/android-itunes-remote-control-sweet/ I prefer winamp, iTunes is a PITA. WMC i've never liked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingman Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I have tried mightily to use ITunes for distribution of media and I can say this - DON'T USE IT. It is terrible at management and client access. I've used a couple others in the past, Winamp, Music Match, WMC (Music Match ruled them all but was purchased by yahoo and basically shut down), I think I'll try the Jriver next, based on recommendations here.

When you try Jriver MC17 you may at first find a few things confusing. It's an incredibly complex program in what it can do and for the power it has I believe thay have kept it as user friendly as possible. If you do have any difficulties you will find their forum to be very helpful and friendly - like here. I've used it for a few years, initially just for audio because of their outstanding SQ reputation. Now we have a full 5.1 Home Theater setup with it. Besides critical audio listening we use it for Movies, both DVD and BlueRay, as well as TV watching and recording. Recently replaced SageTV with it.
