I decided to check it out and I am very impressed. Until now controlling MediaMonkey with an iPhone or iPod Touch using iMonkey was primitive at best. Fortunately the good people at Melloware, who originally developed iMonkey, we also unsatisfied with that application and created MonkeyTunes as a replacement. MonkeyTunes is really nice. It even uses Apple's Remote application as its interface. Why recreate the wheel if one doesn't have to?

MonkeyTunes is a very modest $10 and is available directly through the <a href="http://melloware.com/">Melloware website</a>.

In addition to MonkeyTunes, Melloware offers an application for JRiver Media Center called RiverMote. This application is essentially the same thing as MonkeyTunes and Apple's Remote, but its a separate application available through the iTunes App Store. RiverMote's neatest feature is the ability to control music playing in different zones throughout one's home. The application exploits this zone feature of JRiver very well.
