Controls company's music server software
CasaTunes has released a new iPhone and iPod touch application, capable of remotely controlling a music system using the company's server software. Listeners can choose music from iPod and iTunes libraries, or over 25,000 SHOUTcast Internet radio stations, designating which rooms in a house audio should feed to. When managing rooms, a person has control over volume, play/pause and skip commands.
The app handles up to nine different sources, such as AM/FM radio, and can organize song order and select from a variety of playgroups. A shuffle mode is activated simply by shaking a handheld. The app supports the company’s six-room and 12-room music systems, as well as ones from Nuvo and Russound. CasaTunes is a free download from the App Store.
