Aqua-Soft ForumsHey, does anyone know of a way to control iTunes via a web-browser interface? I've googled it but all the results require me to use AppleScripts and I'm not on a Mac. Thanks for your help 
[help] Controlling iTunes via browser
Phat-Lizord has all the answers.... thanks for that !!!
If you have a Perl enabled server on your PC, you could set up some scripts for controlling iTunes from site.
Maybe that would work with ASP too.
Search for "iTunes for Windows COM SDK" and you'll find the documentation about it.
Thanks for your help Phat-Liz0rd, but localhost gets what I was looking for. Specifically I'm trying to create a simple HTML page that will allow me to control iTunes from my PSP when I'm walking around my house. However, looking at the documentation for the iTunes COM SDK it looks like I'm a little out my league; it doesn't even begin to make sense to me :confused:

How in the world would that be even remotely possible?!?
if the PSP supports running javascript, you can control iTunes via the Windows COM interface
here's the SDK

You will need to set up a web server on your PC that supports server side scripting, not a HTML page with client side JavaScript (which would be executed on the PSP, so no use). That works easiest with ASP (Active Server Pages) but I don't know if the onboard "Peer Web Server" of the standard windows editions supports this. I guess MS enables ASP only on its Server OS's but I may be wrong. If you can provide a basic ASP template that pops message boxes on the PC when clicked on the PSP, I'd be glad to fill in the blanks. Scripted iTunes a 1,000 times...
Oooohh....no offense but you lost me after ASP. I'm a total novice at this kind of thing; I don't even know what ASP is let along what it does.
ha! even i know that ASP is A Scary Proposition.

Never mind. I'm going to mock up something on the weekend, however you will need to tell me if:
- The PSP browser supports JavaScript
- The PSP browser can display PNGs
- The browser lets you enter URLs like http://192.168.100.100:8080/iTunes.asp?Play
- The browser is WAP only or fully HTML compliant, e.g. can it show A-S with stylesheets
- You can tell me how large the screen is: 640x480 or what
- You can write a sample HTML page you want the user interface to look like
This can develop into a cool project.

>Yes; I don't know to what extent though
>Yes on PNGs too
>I assume you can, when entering a URL you get up a cellphone-style keypad so I don't see why you couldn't enter an IP
>HTML Compliant; it displays most websites well, however more complex ones and ones designed for larger screens end up looking pretty poor (they still remain usable though)
>The screen is 480 x 272
I'll get back to you on the sample html page ;D
anyone doing anything with this anymore?
you can also try dot tunes.. great program to share your library on the web
ive tryed dot tunes but thats now what were looking for. what were looking for is a way to CONTROLL itunes via the psp web browser
Hi all,
Jeff here from DOT-TUNES.
I noticed your post here and I thought you may like to know about the latest DOT-TUNES release.
Now, you can use DOT-TUNES to act as a remote control for a home AirTunes setup. Any internet enabled device such as a Mac, PC, Sony PSP, Palm etc can be used as a remote control - And with an AirTunes setup, now you can open any web browser, even at the house next door and play a track back at your home stereo.
So basically DOT-TUNES now has remote and local uses.
... Although we now have Mac and Windows versions of DOT-TUNES and we trying hard to keep the 2 versions identical - the features I mentioned above are at this stage only available on the Mac version.
Check out http://www.dottunes.net for the latest release.
Cheers
Jeff
