AstroTune (Previously known as Foobar Controller Mobile) is a mobile app that uses the BeefWeb API to allow users to control Foobar2000 and DeaDBeeF remotely.
This project was created for Preston Chapman's Student Innovation Project (SIP) at the University of Advancing Technology (UAT). The SIP is UAT's equivalent of a master’s thesis; all students graduating with a bachelor's degree are required to innovate and create a product. For more information, view https://www.uat.edu/student-innovation-projects.
UAT does not own this project; however, it has been granted a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, copy, display, describe, mark-on, modify, retain, or make other use of the student’s work. For more information, view https://www.uat.edu/catalog.
