“Wonderful WONDERFUL device! I bought one on the spot today after hearing about it earlier in the morning. Even using it as a transport device in non-remote situations makes things easier!”

TranzPort and iTunes
So you’ve finished recording for the day and now you just want to step away from the computer, kick back, and listen to music for a while; or maybe you’re having friends over for a cookout and need a way to spin your favorite party tunes from the back deck. The solution is the same either way. TranzPort, by Frontier Design Group, now offers comprehensive remote control over iTunes. That’s right, now you can play your Red Hot Chili Peppers and grill ‘em at the same time.
Whether you’re practicing, performing, or just relaxing, you’ll appreciate being able to use TranzPort to control iTunes. By selecting the iTunes operating mode from the TranzPort task bar icon (PC) or TranzPort Manager (Mac), the TranzPort will allow you to launch and control iTunes from anywhere within the TranzPort’s radio range.
In addition to basic Play, Stop, and Volume controls, with TranzPort you can select tracks, navigate your iTunes library by artist, album, or song title, add songs to specific playlists, and control shuffle and repeat modes. You can even use the TranzPort in Cue mode to trigger backup tracks from a footswitch or TranzPort button in a live performance environment. You can also set the Start and Stop times of a song and enable looping. This lets you practice with a section of a song, so you can learn a new tune or transcribe that killer solo.
The 2×20 character LCD display and seven LEDs give you the status of the current song, let you choose another playlist, or look through your library for the next song to play. Pass it around and get everyone in on the fun. Hey, you can’t work all the time!
