Here’s the second in a series of posts about the nominees in The Spotties. Yesterday we covered the Best URL Tool Nominees. Today we’ll look at the tools to control Spotify remotely, from iPhones, smartphones, mini-controllers, or web-browsers: here are the candidates for Best Remote Control App.
Spotify Mac Remote
Alex and Duncan’s Spotify Mac Remote is a plugin for Spotify that allows you to use your Mac’s remote control and multi-touch gestures to Play, Pause and change tracks. The next, play/pause and previous buttons work as expected, the volume buttons control the system volume and holding the menu button quits Spotify (in case you want to use Frontrow). Requires SIMBL.
