Need an alternative to iPad Remote with Apple Mini setup.

[Musicophile]

I share some of your frustrations with the limitations of the remote app, especially with regards to classical music, and hope it will eventually improve.

 

In the meantime, two suggestions come to mind, both with their one limitations.

 

1) try a screen sharing app like Splashtop and control ITunes directly

 

2) give JRiver for Mac a try. I'm not a big fan of the app itself, still preferring ITunes overall, however, JRemote has some more flexibility options that the ITunes remote doesn't offer.

 

Or join us in praying that Damien, the developer of Audirvana, eventually publishes it's own remote app (it is currently in development).
