MediaMonkey is also not supported currently, but is being considered for a future release. MM may be a little easier since it exposes a Winamp-style messaging API. In fact, if you start MediaMonkey and launch Signal in Winamp mode you should be able to perform basic control functions like play/pause and moving between tracks in the playlist.

What I’ve been thinking about doing here is adding a plug-in system to Signal that would allow support for additional players to be added in without needing to alter the core app, I think this would be a good way to extend the list of players supported.

Does it work with Mediamonkey? I ditched itunes a long time ago because it just can’t deal with 50,000+ .wav files. I have an itouch.

There aren’t any current plans to support it, but it is being considered for the future.

Hi Dan,

It’s definitely coming along but I don’t have a release date to share yet. Usually I don’t announce these as doing so seems to always invite some type of disaster that slows things down

Hi Matt, any news on the iPhone app, got a release date/month in mind yet?

Cheers

Windows Mobile for me too.. I think if you can design a really elegent touch UI for WM you’ll do really well as most folks I know are using devices like the HTC Touch as a remote for everything possible..

Thanks for the feedback! The Windows Mobile update is indeed still planned following the native iPhone client release.

Just want to encourage you to keep developing/supporting the Signal software for Windows Mobile; using AirPort, AirTunes and iTunes with PC clients (and Windows Mobile client, of course…) is the absolute perfect combination for me!

Thanks for a truly useful software!

I have also been using Signal for about a year now. A few more points:

1. Apple iPhone Remote doesn’t allow playback of Shared/Linked media to AppleTV, might be an opportunity for Signal. You can only fit so much digital media on the AppleTV without moving to a larger remote storage solution.

2. Windows mobile is still THE platform for those of us building green integrated touchscreen command center solutions in smart homes. Keep up support for this product!
