Control iTunes with your Android Phone or Device

My Setup:
mytouch 4G with Android 2.2.1
Mac OS X 10.5.8
iTunes 10.1.1 (4)
Mac is on the wired network ports on my router with Android mytouch on the Wifi access point

Setup:
Download TunesRemote+ from the Android Market.

Go into iTunes and select Preferences-Sharing, then enable 'Share my Library on My Local Network', 'Share entire Library', and 'Require Password'.

Put a 4 digit number in the password box. Remember it.

Open TunesRemote+ on your Android device and add your library.

If it doesn't find your library automatically, do a manual add and put in the IP of your computer and in the box under that, put in the 4 digit password. (Open System Preferences, then Network, then it's probably something like '192.168.0.xx' or '192.168.1.xx'.)

In iTunes, 'Android Remote' should appear on the left. Select it. Put in the 4 digit password.

Enjoy.
