this is superior to the freecom taskbar prog in that you can specific the IP address rather than relying on it 'searching' for the musicpal which on my PC it NEVER finds. So, +1 to this app coz it actually connects and does remote control the unit. Problem is, the 'now playing' data messes up the gadget screen totally making it a total mess. Hopefully a new version fixing this problem is on its way...
