## Using Remote
If you plan to use Remote with forked-daapd, read the following sections
carefully. The pairing process described is similar for other controllers, but
some do not require pairing.
If you plan to use Remote for iPod/iPhone/iPad with forked-daapd, read the
following sections. The pairing process described is similar for other
controllers/remotes (e.g. Retune), but some do not require pairing.
### Pairing with Remote on iPod/iPhone
forked-daapd can be paired with Apple's Remote application for iPod/iPhone/iPad;
this is how the pairing process works:
If you just started forked-daapd for the first time, then wait til the library
scan completes before pairing with Remote (see [library](#library)). Otherwise
you risk timeouts. Then do the following.
The Quick Way:

library scan completed in X sec".
Of course, if files have gone missing while the server was not running a request
for these files will produce an error until the scan has completed and the file
is no longer offered. Similarly, new files added while the server was not
running won't be offered until they've been scanned.
The very first scan will take longer than subsequent startup scans, since every
file gets analyzed. At the following startups the server looks for changed files
and only analyzis those.
Changes to the library are reflected in real time after the initial scan. The
directories are monitored for changes and rescanned on the fly. Note that if you
