itunes- remote control possible?

[knacker]

I will be running my itunes through a tablet pc as it is silent and only will have itunes and XP Tablet loaded onto it. Does anyone know of any software and remote control that would work?

Well an iPod Touch or iPhone are the obvious ones. There may be others...

I use a Griffin Airclick USB remote:

Works well for me. I wasn't sure about it before buying but found them on ebay and paid around £4 including delivery from the U.S. Not sure if they are still on ebay at that price though.

Just bit the bullet and got an ipod touch. I've not looked at it yet but I presume it's done via the wifi?

yep, both the iPod and the PC need to be on the network, and you need to download the free 'Remote' application from the iTunes store.

thanks John for that- I'll d/l the app now!
