Hi everyone, here's my latest project. I threw it together because I couldn't find something to help me go next, previous in iTunes without touching my computer. I'm going to open source it real soon if there's interest and we can all work on making it better, making a Windows build, and supporting other apps too.

Awesome to see an (eventually) open source version!

There's a YC company, Flutter, doing the same thing: https://flutterapp.com/

Thanks, yes all I need to is clean it up! Right now it's a little embarrassing ;)

Nice work! In a similar fashion I created KinecTunes (control iTunes using your voice via the Microsoft Kinect - http://kinectunes.codeplex.com/) because of the same reason. Innovative use of the webcam!
