Back to photostream

Each step of the way.

So I've got my entire cd collection ripped at high quality and stream it to my stereo on the other end of the apartment using my Airport Express. The only crappy thing about this interface is... well... there is none. I have to keep coming back to the computer every time I want to change the music.

 

But no more! Enter: CoverBuddy. An inexpensive little app that piggybacks on top of iTunes. Their gimmick is that you can peruse your entire music collection via album cover. It's quite cool, but definitely not an iTunes killer.

 

However, there is one feature about this program that makes it unique and a must-have: it's web-based. Meaning, you can start up it's little web server app and control iTunes (via CoverBuddy) through any web browser. INCLUDING the web browser in the PSP.

 

I've been playing with it for a couple of hours and it's super cool. My only complaint (that i've already emailed to the developers) is that you can't see/access any iTunes playlists. It DOES however, create an iTunes playlist called "CoverBuddy", and you can go in and drop all the music you want in there. The only way to navigate it, unfortunately, is to use the NEXT and BACK buttons on the interface.

 

I've never stood out on a platform and praised any particular piece of software before really. If they add the playlist functionality, this is a must have. Check out CoverBuddy for more info!
