So happy I could cry (updated) – vmcMote - Remote Control your Windows Media Center Review

This is the app I've dreamt about. I wanted to control my Vista Media Center music library (pc is hooked to a TV) without turning on the TV and that is exactly what this app does. Graceful and complete. Slight hiccup after server connection but just restart app and all is well. Well worth the money but a free trial/lite version does exist so try for yourself. I did and paid for full version five minutes later. Update - my initial review may have been a little too enthusiastic. After more use, there are some glitches and one major flaw. On the "Settings" page, the app seems hide the options about a half second after the screen loads - this is on a 3GS. This is a problem when you need to make changes - you have a split second to hit the buttons before they disappear. The major flaw in the app, however is that when your Media Center library changes (ie: add new music, update a genre tag, etc) you have to reload the entire database which (in the case of a large library) takes several minutes. So, when you want to play that new albumb with friends over, you have about a 5 to 7 minute wait. Some type of incremental update is an important feature missing here. Update 2: Really needs a stability update. Crashes all the time where the Now Playing stops working. No longer useable and I'm verry bummed about that.
