      I’m a big fan of the updated version of Remote. It also allows you to easily select which remote speakers to use directly from the ‘now playing’ screen. Also, the shuffle and repeat options seem more reliable/responsive.

      I created a playlist remotely last night and it was really easy to move everything from one playlist over to the new on and then add/delete songs to the new one via Remote.

      … now, if they would just let me stream my content to my iPhone via Remote. :-)

    What's your opinion?
