Media buttons + iTunes

[Amber]

We've had a few threads on how to configure iTunes so you can use your media buttons when itunes is not active.

I found a solution last night (courtesy of Dell's forums). You can download this plugin:

Click on the red/yellow image "Multi-plugin 2.4"

After you install this plugin, open iTunes. Under the menu --> edit --> preferences --> Multi Plugin Tab --> Compatibility Tab --> check "fix media keys functionality" and select "mode 2" in the menu.

i love how the media buttons work automatically for winamp. that's nice for all you itunes users though.

so you have to actually install something to allow the itunes to work with the media buttons. but its good to know that they have a way to do it now. good job SouthernGirl

Your welcome. The plugin works great. The only thing that I noticed about it which I don't know if this was so much the plug-in's fault, but when i was downloading something, and the download stopped, I couldn't get the advanced-->check for purchased music to work.

So far this work way better than I thout it would. The only problem I had with it was during installation of the plugin Norton decided it was a malicious program and decided to block internet access for plug-in updates. Dell included the disk for Norten Internet Security 2006. Its been a few years since I've used norton so I decided to give it a go thinking maybe it doesn't suck as bad and yep, Norton still sucks. I've been meaning to take it off an install Zone Alarm.

Additional note. Sorry for double posting. I've noticed that if for some reason you have Windows Media Player, and ITunes up(or Both minimize anyways) (Often I use both at once. Use WMP for streaming audio. With Itunes up but inactive. I tend to pause WMA at times, then listen to music on ITunes, then comeback to WMA afterward.) Both will respond to the media buttons at the same time. Thats annoying. ><;
