Remote Mode allows you to control SongKong from a regular web browser, this can be the same computer but can also be on another computer, tablet device or mobile phone, that is why we describe it as Remote Mode

This means having installed SongKong on your computer you can then use it from another location in your home, for example your computer may in your home office but you can control from your phone in your lounge. But it also means you can install and use SongKong on a computer that does not have a Graphical User Interface such as a Linux server, and unlike the command line tool you have full access to all user options and administrative tasks such as license installation. The Remote Mode means you can install SongKong on the same machine as your music resides on so that the actual file updating does not have to be done over the network meaning much faster matching, especially with large lossless files.

The Remote Mode user interface has been designed to look as much like the desktop mode as possible, whilst being adaptable to the different screen sizes of computers and mobile devices.

Please note Remote Mode is a way to run SongKong remotely, it is not a typical Server Mode. A typical server mode would mean you installed SongKong on one machine, and then you could connect to it via different client computers and could fix the files on the client computers, but this would make no sense as it would require each client to upload their files to the remote server to fix them. If you have multiple computers or servers we recommend you install SongKong on each server, a standard SongKong license allows you to install on up to three computers concurrently.

Remote Mode can be invoked either by starting SongKong from the command line with the -r option or by starting in regular desktop mode and selecting Start Remote Mode from the File menu.

The Fix Songs and Delete Duplicates tasks require a Pro, Commercial or Melco license to run from Remote Mode.
