Hey guys, searched but couldn't find the info im looking for.

i have some hotkeys on my wireless keyboard (play, pause, mute, ff, rw).. how do i map those so when i press next on the keyboard, the next song plays?

right now the volume up and down and mute work by default but the ones i really need (next track, previous track) don't work..

thanks,
Craig

it depends on which software you use to map those keys in standard applications, every multimedia keyboard has a software for key mapping, if it is not supported directly by windows (like microsoft keyboards)

this one does have mapping but not for the forward and reverse keys. they do work with windows media player though. any ideas?

I know Winamp uses standard WMplayer short cuts, it recognize next/prev keys on my keyboard. I think -not sure- it has to do with how the player was implemented, does it accept "standard" short cuts or not.
I know it is pain but try to use Grider to map the keys.

i was hoping not to use Girder.. the software that comes with it doesn't let you map those keys.. this is the Keyboard im talking about.
