Re: iPhone as a remote

What seems to be the limit for the length of song lists? Do one 
hundred still work fine performancewise?

 
Over the EDGE network, I think I loaded a playlist with a hundred or two hundred songs, and it didn't take too long to LOAD. However, because the iPhone doesn't currently allow SEARCHING within a web page, it takes a ridiculous amount of manual scrolling to get to the bottom of the list.

I haven't tried it yet, but this might allow searching: http://www.lifeclever.com/17-powerful-bookmarklets-for-your-iphone/

On the other hand, I now realize that using EDGE to allow REMOTE (non-local network) access to Remote Buddy on a desktop computer might be a Really Bad Idea.

Am I correct that the password for Remote Buddy is sent in cleartext? If so, given that Remote Buddy seems to have access to file / directories / low-level stuff, I assume that it is foolish to allow access from outside the local network?

Any chance Remote Buddy could use https / SSL for passwords?
