Magic Remote Server

Magic Remote Server (Pro) and Magic Remote Control (free of charge on the App Store) will turn your Mac into a comfortable and easy-to-use media center. Magic Remote Server (Pro) runs on the Mac and is controlled by Magic Remote Control from your iPhone or iPod.

If you want to play songs from the iTunes library, watch TV with EyeTV, or watch ripped DVDs or movies from your hard disk, Magic Remote Control will control the related software with a minimum of inputs.

For example, if you're listening to music via iTunes and then decide to insert a DVD, Magic Remote Server will automatically stop the iTunes playback, switch the output device from the speakers to the TV and then start the movie from the DVD player. Simultaneously the DVD player's interface will be displayed on Magic Remote Control without any input by the user.

While the software is designed to enable the most important functions to be carried out with a minimum of input, audiophile playback is also possible via PureMusic and Decibel (Pro version only). Magic Remote Control is operated from your iPhone without the need for a keyboard or mouse.
