Controlling iTunes from the Terminal
I am using this script to control my itunes with my BlackBerry 8820. So far it has been a great success. All it takes is midpSSH which is SSH software for mobile phones. If you have a dynamic IP address it would be useful to use a service that will keep it updated and linked to a URL.

Since this was (almost) my first attempt to do something with applescript, I only made limited additions to the code. On the other hand, it hints at how much potential the script has. Here is what I added:
It adds a basic search function. You can search for a song, album, or artist with the command itunes search searchterm with itunes being the name of the script and searchterm being the search term.
This will call up a list of search results and start playing them from the top. To skip to a number on that list you enter itunes skipto 10 (replace 10 with the number of the track you want to play).
