iPhone App Review: Apple's Remote works, and it's free
If you've been looking for a reliable way to make your iPod or iPhone work as a remote for iTunes, look no further than Apple's Remote application. Just when you thought there was no way to tie the iPod and iTunes closer together, Apple's found another way for them to intereract. And It's free! Just pop open remote, click to add a new library, and then enter the resulting 4 digit code in iTunes to give your iPhone access to your library. Now you've got an interface that looks just like the one you use to play music on your iPod. This'll work with any iTunes equipped computer on your network, and once you've set them up, you can switch between them easily. We even set up a little ad-hoc network with just a Mac and an iPod Touch, and Remote's performance was excellent. Did we mention it's free?

Free if you buy the $10 upgrade to firmware 2.0.

Thats assuming it gives you the option to pay the $10. :(

Yea, I'm not worrying about apps until I can actually use them.

Free for iPhone Owners, I'd be happy to trade my $70 a month bill for your one time $10 bill. Any takers........ I didn't think so.

Don't forget, it also works to control the Apple TV. Fantastic app. Perfect for parties or lounging around away from your computer. I'm amazed at how fast and responsive it is.

This is simply incredible. Works flawlessly. Beautiful UI. Incredibly useful to me - I already love being able to control what comes over my AirTunes via Airport Express on my remote patio speakers from the iPhone, something I had always had a need for! AMAZING! Thanks Santa Steve!

I love this for iTunes, especially to mess with my wife when shes working but I cannot get it set up with AppleTV. I do not have remote under general settings, only the option to pair/unpair.
