rtRemote is a remote control for iTunes that offers similar functionality to the Apple Remote App for the iPad and iPhone.
rtRemote supports music, podcasts, movies and TV programmes and displays all your favorite cover art, dvd artwork and track metadata.
Note: You need to have a copy of Apple's iTunes program running on a computer on your network (rtRemote cannot connect directly to the iTunes store or to your iCloud account). rtRemote does not require any other software to be installed on your Windows 8 PC or tablet.
** New feature in this release: If you are running our Windows Desktop app 'iHomeServer for iTunes v3' you can now stream your iTunes media directly to rtRemote using our 'Play Here' feature. Note this is only available if you are an iHomeServer v3 user and excludes DRM protected content - see http://www.bizmodeller.com/iHomeServer for further details **
Pairing with iTunes
When first run, rtRemote needs to be paired with your iTunes library. It's a really simple process that takes only 30 seconds - the App will guide you through the steps to do this on first launch. (Note: If you are running rtRemote on the *same* computer as iTunes then you will need to download our free pairing app from our support website - this only needs to be run once at the time of pairing.)
NB: rtRemote is now advert supported - you can remove adverts with an in-app purchase from the Settings charm. Customers who purchased rtRemote before 11th November 2012 are entitled to free ad removal - please email us at support@bizmodeller.com for your coupon.
We really do listen to our users so if you have any issues with the App or have a feature suggestion then please let us know at support@bizmodeller.com
