Thanks for the nice comments!

Unlike programs like WebEx, Remote Desktop or Timbuktu, netTunes is tailored to iTunes. There are a lot of advantages to this, such as:

- Presents only the appropriate information -- the netTunes window, for example -- without the whole desktop to mess things up.

- Interaction can be tailored to the app: when you close the remote window, it disconencts, for example. And try minimizing it -- it does what you'd expect!

- netTunes fully supports the two primary window "modes" -- full and "mini", and saves positions (and scaling factors) for each.

There are a lot more, but that'll get you started!

Regarding "wireless" connection to your stereo -- you can use one of the iTunes "FM Broadcasters", such as iRock, to do this. Remember, though, that the sound quality from those isn't optimal.

Personally, I use the midiman Sonica, which costs about $80 and does a nice job with USB audio. Much cleaner than the headphone port.

Enjoy netTunes!
