iTunes 8.1 DJ gives another excuse to party
Thu, Mar 12th, 2009 |
Over at Wired's Gadget Lab they've got a rundown of a neat new feature of iTunes 8.1: iPhone / iPod touch voting for songs in DJ mode. Basically, Apple also released an update to their Remote application to go with iTunes 8.1 and it is now possible to set up iTunes so that anybody with an iPhone or touch connected to the same network can actually queue up songs from your library into the DJ (formerly Party Shuffle playlist). Once songs are queued up other guests can even vote on the songs (presumably to move them up the queue, though that's not confirmed).
