## What is Mirage Media Controller?

Turn your iPhone or iPod touch into a powerful controller that will allow you to orchestrate media playback from anywhere in your home.

With the Mirage Media Controller, you can instantly access and play your entire media collection, including multiple iTunes and Windows Media collections, Sirius XM, Pandora, and thousands of free internet radio stations with TuneIn Radio, all in one consolidated collection from a single application.  If you hear something you like on any source, a single button press creates a customized Pandora station that will help you discover more music to love by playing back content with a similar style.

When used with the Mirage Media Control System, the Mirage Media Controller will allow you to remotely control iTunes, Windows Media Center, or Windows Media Player on your PC complete with metadata, album art, and full media browsing.

For professional A/V installers, the Mirage Media Controller will communicate over IP with Crestron, AMX, and other control systems to relay zone/source selection, volume, and power commands to the central automation processor.

The Mirage Media Controller requires the Autonomic Mirage Media Server or the Mirage Media Control System, both available separately from Autonomic Controls.

### 1/5 — iOS 14.7

*2021-08-02*

I can’t get control or login to my autonomics after the iOS update. It does work on previous versions of iOS.

### 1/5 — Terrible app, unethical company

*2018-09-02*

This app is terrible and outdated. Broken integrations, improper screen resolution. This is the companion app for systems that costs into the tens of thousands of dollars. It seems the company sold and the new business model is to try to force people into the new hardware so they’re not supporting the systems they were selling even last year.

### 1/5 — Please update

*2018-07-05*

Please it's glitchy and needs some work.  People spend alot of money on your product.

### 1/5 — Glitchy

*2018-05-10*

Always connection issues. Never any updates. Can’t shuffle your playlist on Spotify. Functionality is clunky. App will no longer open. my speakers are useless now without someone having physically come and inspect the issue with the receiver. Weak.

### 2/5 — Good when it works - needs more features!

*2017-06-08*

Any time I select an artist, it only shows me the first handful of available titles. For example, if the artist has 30 albums, the app will only show me the first 10-15. In order to see all of the albums, I have to exit the page and reselect the artist to get the full listing.

Search criteria are lacking. Many soundtracks or compilations should have an album artist of 'various artists' or else you can't find all of the tracks of the album. Thus, it's a must that this app add more search options!

Must have search option for the following;

1. Album artist
2. Year
3. Song

I do love the connectivity to local and internet radio, as well as streaming services such as Spotify and Rhapsody.

However, after using this for 2 years now, no search capability with a library the size of mine is inexcusable.

### 1/5 — Closes

*2016-03-02*

Says connecting to server then closes

### 3/5 — Needs an update for iOS 9 volume control not working correctly

*2015-10-03*

Needs an update for iOS 9 volume control not working correctly

### 1/5 — Latest version breaks Nuvo Music Port connection

*2014-05-23*

Was working perfectly until I installed the 5.0 Update and now it has rendered this app useless. Can no longer connect to the Nuvo Music Port and control my Grand Concerto whole house system. Warning to other users - don't update if you are using the Nuvo Music Port. Hoping they will release a fix soon.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work properly

*2013-04-08*

I had the previous version and I worked well, until I downloaded the update where I cannot access the zones as they appear as the sources instead. There is a conflict between the Nuvo system and the autonomic software. Worked prior to update but now am frustrated with current version.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2013-03-26*

Initially the 4.5 broke my MCS server, but Autonomic pushed an update the next day! Great software, great support!
