<li>Earlier versions of beaTunes had the kind of remote control that you are suggesting. It has been removed, because some things simply didn't work well. Like the progress/play bar. However, there should be something like <code>Play in iTunes</code> in the context menu (right-click on song). I wasn't aware that it was missing until just now.</li>
</ol>
<p>Can you please try the current dev snapshot from <a href="https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-0-4-SNAPSHOT.dmg">https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-0-4-SNAPSHOT.dmg</a> It contains the missing context menu item.</p>
<ol>
<li>Hm... they <em>should</em> show up. Can you send a screenshot of what you are seeing, please?</li>
</ol>
<p>Thanks!</p></div>hendriktag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/431260082017-08-04T03:31:49Z2017-08-04T07:48:25ZiTunes Remote Play and Amazon recommendation<div><p>Good morning Hendrik,</p>
<p>thank you for your fast reply.</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>I just tried the new version and the option to play the song in iTunes<br>
is now placed in the context menu. But it is only visible for songs, which<br>
are downloaded. Is there any way, this option can also be enabled for songs<br>
in iCloud/Apple Music? Would be great, to keep the used space on my Macbook<br>
at a minimum.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Here is a screenshot of some songs from Jack Johnson <a href="http://d.pr/i/xab1mQ">http://d.pr/i/xab1mQ</a><br>
. I don't get any recommendation of any of his songs (or any other song in my<br>
library), no matter if I change the ruleset [1] or the source [2] to<br>
"alternative & indie". I also cleared the Amazon Cache in the settings already, to avoid any possibility, that there might be corrupted data,<br>
which "could" maybe cause the empty list. For about 3-5 seconds the loading<br>
indicator [3] appears and then nothing else happens. Beside that, the<br>
Amazon Slide [4] works just fine, so it seems, the connection to Amazon in<br>
general works as intended.</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Best regards<br>
Viktor</p></div>Der Bärtag:help.beatunes.com,2009-07-24:Comment/431260082017-08-04T11:59:40Z2017-08-04T11:59:40ZiTunes Remote Play and Amazon recommendation<div><p>Hey Viktor,</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>You're right... That didn't fix it all the way. Please download and install the latest snapshot from <a href="https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-0-4-SNAPSHOT.dmg">https://www.beatunes.com/download/beaTunes-5-0-4-SNAPSHOT.dmg</a> It contains an additional change.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Amazon does provide only very limited metadata (no tempo, no key, no color, ...). So to find matches, you need to use a ruleset that can take advantage of the little information that's there. Like release year and genre. In most cases, those matches won't be great. Also note, Amazon does not provide previews. So the only thing you can really do is to click on the little <code>a</code> button on the left and visit the Amazon web page for the listed song (which should have a preview).</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>-hendrik</p></div>hendrik
