Sonos controller for BlackBerry and Android

iTunes BlackBerry Controller release 2

All the feedback I have had so far about TIggit Controller for iTunes, is that what is there works, and the mot important thing that is missing is the ability to use Playlists.

There are three ways to interact with Playlists. These can be found ‘at the top’ of the library, and clicking on Playlists will show a full list of the iTunes playlists.

Selecting a playlist you can either play or browse the playlist. Play does what it says, and browse opens the playlist and shows just one of the tracks. You can now click on a single track to play it, or just select Play from the menu to play the full playlist.

I have also added some more fast keys. The keyboard can already be used to navigate the library and playlists: Use the keyboard has type ahead search keys to search by track title, and hold shift to search by artist.

Now there are some additional hot keys to help with controlling iTunes

Space: play/pause

ALT-V: select the volume control

ALT-F: skip forward

ALT-B: skip backwards

ALT-M: toggle mute

ALT-S: shuffle

ALT-R: repeat

Another big change with version 0.2 is that it is built for OS 5.0, 6.0 and the new OS 7.0 that is due to be released this summer.

There are still a few things to add, not least of which is the ability to update the BlackBerry Messenger personal message, with the details of the track that is being played. This is mildly problematic as it is not certain that BlackBerry Messenger will be installed. I need to investigate this further.
