iTunes Remote App Gains Dark Mode and macOS Catalina Support

by

Apple today updated its iTunes Remote app with support for Apple Music and the Apple TV apps in macOS Catalina, enabling a feature that was first introduced earlier this week in macOS Catalina 10.15.2.

Following today's iOS update and the macOS 10.15.2 update, the iTunes Remote app can be used to control playback in the Music and TV apps in macOS Catalina.

The new version of the iTunes Remote app also supports Dark Mode in iOS 13 and later, enabling a darker theme when ‌Dark Mode‌ is turned on.

iTunes Remote is a free app for controlling music libraries and other content on the Mac with the iPhone. It can be downloaded from the iOS App Store. [Direct Link]

Agreed! My dad bought me that cassette tape back in 1985 or so. I had to hide it from my Christian conservative mom. Good memories!

Correct, however they had broken it specially for Music/Catalina, (along with Album Art).
A more appropriate title would be, “iTunes Remote App Finally Fixed for Music/Catalina, and Gains Dark Mode”

This is still the only way to play Apple Music from an iOS device to multiple speakers that do not have Airplay 2 support.

is it possible to search Apple Music now, or does it still require music to be added to the library first?
No. Unfortunately you still can't search Apple Music from Remote app. In fact you can't do anything related to Apple Music from the Remote app - play the stations, etc. Sucks. And they've removed the internet radio stations.


I still can't control Music with the remote app after the update! Tried disabling and enabling home share still no joy. Anyone manage to get it working?
It didn't work via HomeSharing for me despite it having worked that way previously. I had to add my iPhone as a remote in Music on my Mac by entering the 4 digit code on my phone.
