DACPClient
A DACP (iTunes Remote protocol) client written in the wonderful Ruby language. You can use this for controlling iTunes. It uses the same protocol as the iTunes remote iOS app.
You can control iTunes by connecting and entering a pin, or with Home Sharing. DACPClient supports both methods.
Look at the bin/dacpclient file for an example client.
