Today I look at how the remote sound feature for LogMeIn Pro works.

I subscribed to the monthly version of Logmein Pro before I went out to New York for Wordcamp as I knew I would be transferring files from my home computer.  It worked out lovely!

Over Turkey Day weekend, I had a chance to finally test the remote sound.  The sound was great!  It was loud, clear and there were no skips while I played music in iTunes on my old computer.  This is a nice feature as I move applications, data and songs from my Shuttle XPC to my new Dell XPS 8000.

The Pro2 version would be great for someone who is on the road often.  Network administrators would also find it helpful to install on a server to quickly get a bird’s eye view of the system.  More on that in a future post.

LogMeIn has several tools you can use to remotely access your computer. You can connect to your PC or Mac while on the road and do it securely without installing any complex software.

The Pro version allows for remote sound and printing plus other goodies like file transfer and detailed diagnostics. The cost of LogMeIn Pro2 is $12.20 per month or $69.95 for the year.

There is also LogMeIn Free which provides you with remote access as well you just don’t get all the goodies mentioned below.

I’ve been using LogMeIn since 2006 and like the direction they’re going to have more cross platform support.

More reviews soon!
