Well? How can I control iTunes using my keyboard? I have a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse that I have had for a few years and I LOVE them both. When I first bought them, I plugged it in and it worked great. I never installed the recommended software because they only added useless programs, and the plug and play option is more convenient.
During the first few months, the keyboard shortcuts (mute, volume, skip, play/pause, stop, eject, etc) worked great in Winamp and WMP. At this time I did not use iTunes. When I made the switch to iTunes in November of 2006, when I bought an iPod, I started using only iTunes and all of the keyboard shortcuts still worked great. Then after some iTunes update (possibly to 7.0?) the shortcuts stopped working unless I was specifically in the iTunes program. Before this, I was able to use the shortcuts even if I was using Firefox or even in WoW. The buttons still triggered iTunes to switch. This was extremely convenient and I really do miss it.
The switch was made many months ago, and not until today did I realize somebody here may be able to help me. Any ideas? Oh yea, I am using a XP machine as specced in my sig. NOT a mac (yet).
