HOOD RIVER, OR—Nov. 1, 2003—For the first time, customers of iTunes for Windows can extend the reach of their digital music through the seamless addition of the Streamzap PC Remote. This convenient hand-held remote allows iTunes users to access their music collection from anywhere in the room.

Streamzap works with other online music services such as Roxio's Napster, RealNetworks' Rhapsody, and more than 70 other multimedia applications
The Streamzap PC Remote provides computer enthusiasts of all ages with a simple and affordable way to enjoy multimedia content using an infrared remote to control programs up to 40 feet away from your computer. Based on extensive research and development, the Streamzap PC Remote works with your current computer system no matter what software you use to play music.
The Streamzap PC Remote is an all-in-one solution consisting of a USB compatible receiver, sleek 35 button handheld remote control, and installation CD-ROM. The remote control makes it easy to crank up the sound, mute for a phone call, and even skip tracks to find the perfect song.
