FORT COLLINS, Colo.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CasaTunes®, a leader in whole house audio systems, today announces the CasaTunes App (application) for iPhone® and iPod® touch users.

With Native iPhone/iPod touch control, the CasaTunes App brings complete control of all CasaTunes XLi and XLe solutions, as well as other popular multi-room hardware from Russound and Nuvo Technologies for whole house audio control.
“In responding to the growing popularity of iPhone apps, we developed the CasaTunes App for the iPhone to seamlessly integrate with CasaTunes so users can select and play music or the radio in any room in the house from anywhere in the house,†said David Krinker, CEO for CasaTunes. “With a retail price of just under US$200 for an 8GB model, we believe the Apple iPod touch is quickly becoming the wireless remote control of choice for users to control the home, providing an end user experience that was not previously possible.â€
