more than one server with mediaControl.

Launch the mediaControl application.  mediaControl will display 

a popup window showing you the connection status. If this is the first 
time using mediaControl, it will attempt to connect via the default IP

servers and players. Otherwise, 
mediaControl will attempt to connect 
to the last player or server it was 
connected to prior to shutting down.
