Remote control of iTunes?

[Gabriel]

I love the Jambox.

But I wish it would be possible to control iTunes (which I have running on my MacBookPro) from Jambox' buttons; just the simple things, like fast forward/backward (e.g., by pressing and holding the + and - button), or skip forward/backward (e.g., by pressing +/- twice), and pause.

Or, if that is impossible, I wish there was an iPhone app with which I could control iTunes.

Is that somehow possible?

Gabriel, there is a "Remote" app by Apple in the iTunes store which will let you control your computer's iTunes as long as you're on the same WiFi network.  Works well, lets you pick tracks, rate songs etc as well as the more basic stuff.

Thanks for the response.

I have installed the "Remote" app, and it works; but often, I would still find it much easier and quicker to click one of the Jawbone's buttons instead of getting out my iPhone, swiping, starting the app, etc. etc.

In particular for "small" interactions like pause/resume, skip forward/backward.

Regards,

Gabriel.
