If you have music on your iPod, you can do this out the box with .25
using AirPlay.

If you want to use your iPod as a remote, there are some apps in the
app store that will turn your iPod (or iPhone/iPad) into a remote.  Or
you can wait until the torc application is released as it looks like
you can use that as a remote as well.

Another option is to install a squeezebox server on your backend and
then use the webbased remote or iPeng (paid app) on your iDevice.
