Build an iTunes Remote Control

Editor's note: AirPort Express is great for streaming music from your 
Mac, except when you have to change tracks from another room. There 
are commercial solutions available, but here's a great evening 
project using your web-enabled cell phone and the power of Mac OS X. 
This is actually an Apache web server tutorial disguised as an iTunes 
hack.

If you own an Airport Express, you know that it can be inconvenient 
to travel back and forth to iTunes in order to please the masses at 
parties. You might also find paying an additional 50 percent (of the 
price of your Express) to buy a remote control unacceptable. Not to 
worry, you can build your own remote control using your web-enabled 
cell phone and some of the magic built in to Mac OS X. The only 
catches are that it's free, has a range that reaches farther than 
you'll ever need, and is as customizable as you like. But wait a 
minute; those are good things!
