I have searched google play, but I could not find a good option the first couple pages. Anybody know of a good remote for controlling google music? I have remote for itunes and a good remote for pandora, now looking for one for g music.
I have spekaers set up outside and the music piped to them is from my laptop inside the house. I use the wifi remotes to change the music on my laptop while I am outside. Works great, but I am loving the g music all access and would love a good remote for that.
Although I do use the g music app, it obviously does me no good to control my laptop.
Any thoughts on a remote app or any other solutions are apprecitated!
 
I'm looking for the same thing but unfortunately I think it's going to be more complicated than the iTunes Remote solution due to Google Music playing through the browser.

Ultimately what we're looking for is not a remote for Google Music but something to control the browser through which Google Music plays. That's going to mean using fiddly apps like LogMeIn or Splashtop as RocknSteve mentioned.

A more user friendly alternative maybe to send the audio over Airfoil from a mobile Android app somehow but I don't know if that's possible or not?
 
I agree it will be a much different remote than itunes remote, but it can be done, just like the pandora app I have...it is called panmote, and I highly suggest it if anybody is looking for a remote for pandora. Basically what it does (sorry for my lack of the correct terms) is start up a "companion window" that mirrors what is playing in Pandora (on the pc). The remote controls this window, which in turns controls the pandora website. Does that make sense? You do need to spend a couple minutes initially installing stuff on the pc, but it took all of ten minutes doing that and making sure firewalls were open for the two ports. That app works great...all functions (I think even make a new station).
So yes, being browser based, the google music remote would have to be done something similar to that. Being that is seems like the all access is getting popular, I would think a dev would be all over this to make a buck or two.
