iPhone as music server remote control

There are a number of micro-apps that
do this now ( they run through the iPhone browser,
and are sanctioned by Apple, unlike third-party apps
that are obliterated after software updates ).

Here's one:

Good link. I didn't know about this one.

Here are some remote control softwares that I found

I also built one myself using JavaScript, PHP, and AppleScript. I did that because well, 1)I enjoy the challenge and 2)I can make it work the way I like. I am using an iPhone to remote control a Mac Mini which connects to a Benchmark DAC-1 using USB. The Mac Mini has no keyboard, no mouse, no monitor and very quiet. The whole setup works really well.

BTW, I don't know why the three links I posted all show up as www.alloysoft.com but they are actually three different links. When you click on them, they will bring you to different sites.
