Control of music PC with tablet - which software?

[fobos8]

Hi guys
I've built a pc which is my music source, it connects to a pair of active speakers. It sounds really wonderful. I typically use JRiver to play my music but I also like to use Youtube as well.

The next step I'd like to do is to use a touch screen tablet with a decent size screen to control the PC. What's the best/software to do this? Do I need Windows on the tablet or will Android work?

Kind regards, Andrew

Have a look at
Remote desktop
Teamviewer
etc
This works on Android
Basically you log in on the PC and take over the interface

There is FoobarCon software, but it is difficult to set up.

Or you could set the pc up as a Roon Core and control from any tablet or phone

Roon is great, stable, supported flexible and works, but it does come at a hefty cost.

If you've got Jriver, then use their free Mobile Phone / tablet remote control app Gizmo to control your music. You don't need anything else. Details here https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Gizmo
