Lake Shore Software releases its iTunes Server Application for Crestron Control Systems

Sanford, FL, July 5, 2005----Lake Shore Software & Engineering, a Central Florida based Software Developer and Systems Engineering firm, has released their iTunes Server Application for controlling the Apples iTunes application running on a Windows Platform from the Crestron Control environment.

The firm, CAIP members since 2000, has been engineering and developing software for large integrated control systems in Residential, Commercial and Military markets in the US, Europe and Asia for over 10 years. Building these systems results in long travel hours for Michael Landt, Lake Shore’s Principal Engineer. “I never leave home without my iTunes song collection on my iPod” Michael commented.

Michaels software development background dates back to the early Apple II days, he is still an active Apple software developer and his windows development experience dates back to the early 90’s. “Recently our thoughts turned to the challenge of interfacing the well received iPod and iTunes technology with Crestron Control system” he added.

The Lake Shores iTunes Server Application allows users to access their entire library of music, seamlessly, as if they were using the actual iTunes application. Complete transport control and access to Genres, Albums, Artists and iPods, etc are all available to the user. “With our Application Server you can integrate iTunes into your whole house music environment just like other popular music servers” explains Michael. “We are experiencing a huge increase in the demand from our dealers to interface with the popular iTunes/iPod products”, says Chris Wildfoerster, Director of Market Development for Crestron, ”Lake Shores’ application fills a void the market needs.”

Lake Shore Software & Engineering is owned by Michael and Barbara Landt, with offices in Deltona, FL and having just opened new offices in Sanford, Florida. Barbara, CEO, manages the office and staff. “My focus is keeping the team running efficiently and exceeding our client’s expectations” Barbara states.

An Apple OS X version is in currently being tested and versions for other AV Control platforms are in development, with expected release this summer.
