There are quite a few options to control music servers today. Apple's Remote application for the iPod Touch and iPhone is one of the most popular. However, this application doesn't do it all. Those of us using Mac OS X without Sonic Studio's Amarra application still need to close iTunes to adjust the sample rate in Audio Midi Setup. While it is possible to use a VNC application on the iPod Touch to control a Mac music server it's quite impractical. Thus, I highly recommend using a MacBook to control a Mac music server. Complete remote control over a music server allows removal of the keyboard, mouse and monitor. Nothing screams tedium, monotony, and spreadsheets like a keyboard, mouse and monitor in the music room. To this end, here two videos showing how easy it is to remote control a Mac music server. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
