Okay, hopefully I posted this in the right section of MR Forums and hopefully I'm not asking a question that's been asked a billion times before (I did do a search before posting).

Anyway, is it possible for me to pause/play songs playing in iTunes using a keyboard shortcut without iTunes open or in focus?

For instance, if I'm browsing the internet with music playing via iTunes and want to pause or play a song through the keyboard without having to open up iTunes. Is that possible?

(Note: I'm using a white Macbook.)

EDIT: 2.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 3GB RAM, running Leopard.
 
Your whiteness... doesn't tell us much. On most of the MacBooks there are media controls on the function keys. Some don't have them.
 
Okie doke. I added the details about my Macbook to my main post. Sorry about that confusing. I just assumed that separating it from the new MB was enough details.

You Control Tunes looks like a decent alternative. Thanks!

I'd still like just a simple way to do cmd+whatever key that would do a simple play/pause feature and maybe even another that would do the same thing for next song.
