... I wonder if a possible approach (at least on Windows platforms) could be to use iTunes' Windows Automation COM interface? Potentially the COM interface allows a third party application to "drive" iTunes via a software interface in the same way that a human user drives it via its UI. So in theory another application could issue commands like play[track]/pause/ffwd/rewd/volume-up/down to iTunes via COM. If that would be the case, then an application like (say) Whitebear could host a UPnP Digital Media Renderer DMR interface for Airport players, and control those players via iTunes COM interface. It would certainly be rather furry because you would need to have SBS, Whitebear (or other UPnP DMR host application), and iTunes, all running on the same server PC. And all talking nicely to each other, thank you. And you would probably need to have a logged on user session, so it could not run as a background service application... -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG Try out Whitebear. The middleware that joins the two worlds of: 1. UPnP/DLNA media clients and media players, and, 2.
