Control iTunes over a local area network

If you've ever needed to control iTunes on another Mac over a local area network then TuneConnect could be your answer.

TuneConnect allows you to control your music simply, quickly, and easily, from anywhere on a network, so it doesn't really matter which machine your iTunes music is stored on. You can even scrobble your tracks to Last.fm, although this requires a separate file (available to download from the developer's site).

When you install TuneConnect, you also need to install the TuneConnect server on the machine that you want to control. You'll also need to activate Remote Apple Events on your own machine for communication to take place.

When you open it for the first time, TuneConnect searches for connected devices and then allows you to select which ones are available. Alternatively, you can enter a computer name or IP address, including the port access number to control iTunes on another machine.

Then you're ready to go. The tracks you're playing are displayed in the TuneConnect interface and you can perform all the basic control functions you would if you were using iTunes on your own machine. Some users have reported that TuneConnect has been disabled sometimes when iTunes updates, so if you are going to rely on it, bear this in mind the next time you update.

For anyone wanting to control iTunes on another network machines, TuneConnect is a simple and elegant solution.

Your review for TuneConnect
Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
