Installed Pure Music last night. Sounds better than standard itunes with Memory "on" IMO, but I had problems using the itouch remote. Every time I selected a song, I had to press "play" where before it just started playing. Also, I couldn't fast-forward any tracks. Then, "play" wouldn't work at all! Pure Music recommends using the "less is more" function to eliminate "hand shaking" with itunes, but you have to control all commands from the computer using the mouse. I'm not getting up to go to the computer every time I want to make a command. That's what the $280 remote control is for. Am I doing something wrong?
Pure Music Question
I have a question about how to use Pure Music with a wireless system. I currently have three systems, one using an Airport Express and two using Apple TV's connected to external DAC's. Music resides in a 1 TB hard drive connected via an Apple Airport wireless. Everything is controlled by iTunes running on an iMac using an iPod Touch with the Remote app.
I have downloaded the Pure Music demo and run into a hitch. It launches seamlessly but fails to play through any of the "speakers" I have selected in iTunes. When playing straight through iTunes without PM, no problem. It does play through my iMac speakers and I think sounds like a big improvement, but who listens through internal desktop speakers?
I have been able to highjack the PM stream and direct it to my systems using Airfoil, but short of using a desktop controller on my iPod Touch, nothing else works. PM seems like a great and reasonably priced upgrade, but to make it practical, I need to be able to use my Touch to control iTunes remotely while PM is running. I have spoken with PM's tech support, but no luck.
Any ideas?
