At this point, no it doesn't. I'm developing this on my PowerBook G4, so I don't really have access to the remote or anything. I'm going to put keyboard commands for everything in AMP though, and I'm pretty sure there is software out there that can detect the Apple remote and send the appropriate keyboard command. So that should be "implementable!"
I'll look around for some info on receiving the Apple remote input and see what I can come up with. Stuff like that is just really difficult to add right now because I have zero methods to bug test it.

It does seem like a good idea! I need to go ahead and order a Powermate so I can test that with AMP. I think it'd be a great way to scroll through the songs, etc. I heard there isn't Intel drivers for the Powermate yet though, (but I'm sure they will support it.. right?)

Do it man! I love OS X to death! I was hardcore "Mac's suck!"... until I finally got one! Thanks a lot for the kind words. I'm glad the community is interested! You need other people for ideas!
I want to get a good thing going for the Mac front end. A nice, solid application. Once I get it running on my Xenarc (which I still don't have yet,.. ARGH!) and see how that works out, I'm going to release the source code, and hopefully people can bring AMP (or our ideas) into numerous other directions that we hadn't even thought of yet.
Aych!
