I've got an idea and I wonder if it might fit nicely into your app.  For 
whatever it's worth, here's the idea (that I'd love to see incorporated into 
Ytrack):

Summary:  A QR code scanner within Ytrack that scans for specially constructed 
local machine yTrack/iTunes url Ytrack codes through the ios camera.  These 
special Ytrack QR codes are created from desktop droplet app (or some other 
means) which spits out a QR code when an itunes track (or album) is dropped 
onto it.  The basic idea is to be able to print out these qr codes along with, 
say, the album art of my iTunes library and be able to queue up the songs to 
play from my computer's iTunes library by scanning the QR code from my iOS 
device.  

Imagine a rolodex or binder full of album art sitting on a coffee table. FLip 
through the book and play an album from your computer's library by scanning its 
corresponding QR code. Or adding these YTrack qr code labels to other real 
world objects in interesting ways.

I know enough to know that this isn't a simple feature to build, but it would 
be a great way to add physicality to an iTunes collection. I believe that 
adding this extra dimension to iTunes would make Ytrack even more attractive. 
If it's feasible technically speaking, then I bet it might broaden Ytrack's 
appeal beyond folks who simply a traditional remote, to those who want to enjoy 
a (slightly) augmented iTunes reality.  ;)
