i'm not sure iff this is in the right forum, but here goes.

is there any way i can route audio to another speaker like Airtunes and AP Express does, but without ap express. let's say i have another computer that's hooked up to a better speaker, and it has itunes, and can see my PB's music via Rendevous. all this tiem i've been going back and forth to it to select the music i wanna play and do it manually. but is there any way i can make the PC itunes automatically play the music i select or command it to play from the PB??

i know it'd be easier with AP Express, but i don't have that yet. any ideas??

Or ssh Doubt that would work well though. Using open commands with .mp3 files would make them play in that iTunes, but there isnt a GUI and thats pretty tricky with music. Anyways, I dont know if you can actually use the AirTunes feature in iTunes without APExpress. I highly doubt it though

hm. yea.

i guess a remote desktop system would work. but i was acctually thinking of something like a plug-in to itunes. if i'm gonna use remote desktop, might as well shift over 10 cm to the right and grab the other comp's mouse. LOL.
