MonkeyTunes - DACP Server for MediaMonkey

MonkeyTunes is a Digital Audio Control Protocol (DACP) Server for MediaMonkey to allow remote control of your music anywhere in your house. Digital Audio Control Protocol (DACP) is the protocol used by ITunes, except I don't use ITunes, I use the wonderful MediaMonkey for my huge music collection of over 70,000 songs. I originally wrote my own iPhone client called iMonkey but it could never stand up to the features of Apple Remote for Itunes. MonkeyTunes now bridges the gap giving the full power and beauty of the Apple Remote with the power of MediaMonkey! Google Android users are not left out as a customized version of Jeff Sharkey's TunesRemote is provided.

The purpose of this program is simple: to allow control of your MediaMonkey from your mobile device with the touch of a finger.

Don't be a slave to your PC anymore, rock out from anywhere in your house!

MediaMonkey 3.1 or higher running on your PC.
MonkeyTunes Plugin for MediaMonkey. See readme.txt
WI-FI Internet Connection (make sure Port 3689 is open in your hardware Firewall)
