iPod Remotes

Control your iPod from across the room
These gadgets are surprisingly handy. You control your iPod from across the room (even from a different room in the case of RF controllers). If you have your iPod streaming through your home stereo or connected to one of the speaker systems made for iPod you'll definitely want an iPod Remote, after all what's the point of having access to your entire music collection if you have to keep getting up to manually switch tracks, artists and play lists. Use these iPod remotes and you stay on the couch or even the backyard and your music is just a button push away.
A few things to pay attention to are the transmission medium used, infrared (IR) or radio frequency (RF).
- IR is line of sight (like your TV remote) meaning you must be in the same room to controll your iPod.
- RF will transmit through walls (like your radio), allow you to change your music from a few rooms away or even in your backyard in some cases.- Editors
| An iPod Remote is much like your TV or stereo remote. Advance tracks, select new playlists all from the comfort of your favorite chair. |
