Good morning everyone,
today, I've worked on the Remote App, added some new features and fixed
some bugs. Here are the major changes:
- Removed gradients and the blur effect in the UI for a simpler look
and better performance
- Added a seeking bar and additional track information on the
large-window version
- Artwork now loads correctly when listening to online radio stations
- Artwork doesn't reload anymore when it doesn't change
- Added Growl notifications when the Track changes
- Closing the main window now minimizes it into the tray
You can download the new Version here:

Thanks for your positive feedback :)

I've integrated this function into the new version of this app. You can
download it below.

I'll see if I can integrate that. My focus right now is to integrate a
quick search function so you can start from this app, too, which isn't
possible right now and to create a simple settings menu.

I've changed most API requests to the JSON-RPC API (which is awesome, by
the way - thanks for the tip) so covers are now loaded when you listen
to a radio station.
Many Regards,
