How to Use Your Handheld/PDA or Phone as an iTunes Remote

Using a handheld or smartphone to control iTunes from anywhere in your house isn’t as complicated as it sounds, although you’ll have to install third-party software on a WiFi- or Bluetooth-enabled handheld or smartphone in order to do so, and your computer needs to have WiFi or Bluetooth, depending on which program you use. Check the sites for the following programs to find one that’ll run on your handheld. You might also try searching the Web for WiFi [or] Bluetooth iTunes remote control to check for new programs.

• Dead End Software Web Remote (Mac, Any Device with an Internet Connection and a Screen) This app (www.deadendsw.com) turns your iTunes library into a web page that you can browse on any web-capable handheld or other web-enabled device. The web page is stored on your computer, and you connect to it using anything on your network that can see a web page—handhelds, smartphones, or other Internet-connected Macs.
• FlexiPanel iTunes Remote (Windows, PocketPC, Bluetooth) This simple remote app (www.flexipanel.com) is free, apparently as a demo for companies who might want to buy the hardware in bulk. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s free to try and keep.
• Salling Clicker (Mac, Palm, Bluetooth) Aside from controlling iTunes playback, the award-winning Salling Clicker software (www.salling.com) can control PowerPoint slide presentations, high-end audio programs, and more.
• SmashCasi RemoteAmp (Windows, PocketPC, WiFi, Bluetooth) This app (www.smashcasi.com) has lots of features: EQ, playlist editing, full search capabilities, and the ability to get to your music by folder or through iTunes.

How to Create a New Wireless Network with AirPort Express

Apple includes decent instructions with the AirPort Express, but using the AirPort Express to set up a new WiFi network boils down to the following steps.

1. Close iTunes, then plug the AirPort Express into a wall outlet near your stereo. Connect it to your stereo. The method you use depends on whether you have a digital or analog input on your stereo.
2. Run the AirPort Express Assistant from the setup disc.
3. Choose the option for Set Up A New AirPort Express.
4. Choose Create A New Wireless Network on the first screen.
5. Select the new AirPort Express (most likely the only name on the list) and click Next.
6. Name your new network and your AirPort Express and click Next.
7. Choose your security settings. You’ll need them to connect other computers to the network. Try 128-bit WEP for maximum compatibility or WPA if you’re extremely worried about people getting onto your network. Click Next.
8. On the Network Setup page, choose whichever setting applies to you. If you’re not trying to use the AirPort Express to provide Internet access for your network, choose the last option (I Don’t Want To Connect). Click Next.
9. Create and verify the base station password for your AirPort Express, which you’ll need if you want to change its settings. Click Next twice.
10. If you’re still not connected to the AirPort Express, connect to it using Windows networking (double-click the networking icon in the task bar).
11. Start iTunes; at the lower right, you’ll see a new drop-down menu; open it, and select your AirPort Express. Now you can hear iTunes coming out of your stereo wirelessly.
