Control iTunes from a mobile device with PlayerPal
So MyTunesRSS lets you use a PSP to listen to your iTunes music collection, but what if you just want to control the music it's piping through your stereo speakers? PlayerPal is a Windows app that lets you control iTunes or Windows Media player from any web-enabled device. Like other apps of its kind, PlayerPal is basically a mini web server that you can log on to from a web browser and control your media player. Unlike others, though, it's tailored specifically to mobile devices. It ships with skins sized for the PSP, a standard PDA screen, and a regular browser, and can show album cover art in addition to titles, which ought to alleviate the squint-factor. PlayerPal looks great for intelligently controlling your media player from the couch. There's a free trial to download from the PlayerPal web site and the registered version costs $20.[Via kjOnTheRun]

HA! I misread the title to read, "Control iTunes from a mobile device with PayPal.
That would be something.

Mac users might want to try a similar program called CoverBuddy. It just happens to be on sale on MacZot today, too.

james 42 - If you buy a great value PlayerPal license the payment is processed by PayPal. Once installed it lets you control all your music rather than the 50% in the trial. So indirectly you are controlling iTunes with PayPal!
Actually, that doesn't seem as funny in print as it did in my head. But a little plug for PlayerPal nonetheless :)
For those interested, PlayerPal 4.3 is due out this month. It will have a new skin for the PSP, playlist support in the PSP and BigBrowser skins (as is already in PDAClassic) and a bunch of other fixes and updates.
