Sonos controller for BlackBerry and Android

iTunes Remote for BlackBerry

I am pleased to announce the start of a controlled beta programme for Tiggit Controller for iTunes.

Tiggit Controller for iTunes is, as you might expect, a remote control for iTunes (and other DAAP servers) that runs on BlackBerry Smartphones. It allows you to control what is playing on your iTunes music system, play/pause/repeat/shuffle/forward/back. You can select which track to play and select from playlists.

Tiggit Controller has features that are not found in the iTunes Remote for iPhone. Tiggit Controller is integrated with the BlackBerry phone, and you can configure whether iTunes should pause, mute, or be turned down when the phone rings. Although it might feel like an obvious function, iTunes does not have a mute button, however you can use Tiggit Controller to immediately mute what is playing.

All BlackBerry’s have volume button on their side. These can be used to control the volume of iTunes and can be used to skip forward and backwards by press-and-hold. Hot keys allow you to skip around the track list either bay track name, or hold shift to skip by artist name.

Tiggit Controller works with AirPlay, allowing you to select which speakers iTunes will play through.

A wifi connection is required between your BlackBerry and your iTunes computer. You will need iTunes for Windows or iTunes for Mac and OS 5.0 or later on your BlackBerry Smartphone.

I am looking for no more than 100 people to join a beta programme, to test and provide feedback. Those that interested should email tiggit AT tiggit DOT com for download information.
