Spotify Mac Remote
Making the old white Mac remote useful again, this time for Spotify instead of iTunes.
I have pretty much switched to Spotify completely for my music listening. I rarely, if ever, launch iTunes anymore. It was frustrating that the infrared remote that came with my iMac would only control iTunes.
I decided to do a little digging and came across a small helper for Spotify that allows you to use your Mac infrared remote control to play, pause and change tracks.
I tested it and it works wonderfully. One caveat however is that if music is not playing from Spotify and you click the play or pause button on the remote, it launches iTunes and music plays from Spotify as well.
