iTunes, AppleScript, DS, Macintosh
...
Perhaps I've spoken too soon.
This has finally been tested in the Opera browser for Nintendo DS and has been reworked a little to make it run a little smoother.
Set-up instructions have changed slightly since the previous version. Read the rest of this post for more info.

iTunes remote, DS, iTunes, Mac
...

What's new:
- Can "focus" on the current playing artist or album*
- Should work on non-english localizations of OS X**
- Handles text or "constants" returned by iTunes
* When you click on the Artist or Album links at the bottom of the window this will create a playlist named iTunesDSr in iTunes and start playing it. This is still a bit buggy, but usually works fine.
** Thanks to jaycee for
pointing out iTunesDSr was most likely broken on a german localized system.

AppleScript, iTunes remote, iTunes, DS
...
Latest features include:
- Playlist list
- Shuffle control
- Repeat
status control
Repeat status only because I haven't yet figured a way to switch 3 pictures onclick to represent the 3 states of repeat (off, one, all). Two pics, like for the play and shuffle buttons are easy. Which with my JavaScript skills is all I can do.
What odd behavior getting the repeat control to work. It doesn't work like it should, and I have no idea why. If you use this, you may notice the itunescontrol.php URL parameter that's being sent is not what happens. If you send what you want, that's not what you get. So, it's been tweaked to work around (guh!) that behavior.
This software is currently not recommended for use!A more secure (and multi user friendly) version is in the works.
And by "in the works" I mean my brain has formed an idea that doesn't require running Apache as a user other than www. The
exec(osascript "foo") portions need to be scrapped and a stay open AppleScript app still needs to be written.
Stay tuned.
