This is very cool. It worked perfectly even in the dimly lit room I am sitting in.
What I've been wanting and have thought about developing myself is a universal play/pause control that pauses whatever you happen to be listening to at the moment, whether it be a desktop client like iTunes, Spotify, Rdio, etc, or if it is something running in a web browser like Pandora, Soundcloud, Youtube, etc.
This app takes a step towards this in the way it handles iTunes and Spotify at the same time, by controlling whichever app had focus last.
I imagine for web browser control a browser extension would necessary. And ideally a plugin architecture would exist to allow 3rd parties to add support for additional apps.
- goronbjorn 15y agoA different but functionally similar idea would be an automatic pausing of all other services when you start playing one (i.e. when I start playing a Youtube video, automatically pause iTunes).
- Zirro 15y agoThere needs to be a way to override those behaviours though, as there are situations where the audio of a YouTube video (for example) isn't very interesting, and you'd rather listen to music. Lack of background-playing in the iOS YouTube-app is still an annoyance to me.
