We were talking about this recently in the following thread: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2010-October/msg00026.html The Apple Remote software on the iPod/iPad uses the DACP protocol to control an iTunes server. This is related to the iTunes DAAP protocol for streaming music to/from iTunes. Alexandre was working on support DACP in RB as a Google Summer of Code project this year. I'm not clear how much of this work is already included with Rhythmbox: http://live.gnome.org/SummerOfCode2010/AlexandreRosenfeld_Rhythmbox Note that Apple changed some things in v2 of their Remote application, and I understand that on the iPad it now requires "Home Sharing" support. There are probably several Android apps with DACP/DAAP support for controlling/streaming iTunes (or a 3rd party server which supports these protocols). I don't have an Android device so have no suggestions. Does that help?
