Skipper

Why?

I wanted to provide a method for my co-workers to pause music (at incoming calls) or skip to the next song (when they dislike it).

What?

• Specs
  • Needs Webserver like apache2, with modphp. If you don't know what that means, install MAMP
  • Only works on Mac OS X as host system (not Windows)
• Features
  • Skip to next song
  • Pause
  • Play
  • Increase Volume
  • Decrease Volume
  • Show Album Artwork and title of currently playing track
  • a lot more AppleScripts in the archive, just customize it to your needs!

Where?

You get it here: Media:Skipper2013-09-15_16-27.zip

How?

• Setup your apache2 with modphp or get and start MAMP
• extract the Skipper-Archive into the htdocs folder
• Open browser and enter: http://<your_ip_address>:8888/skipper/
• enjoy! :)
