Yeah another Powermate thread

I just receivede my powermate from Griffin and it took me some time to understand the config and settings.

Im gonna make this quick, I use my powermate in winamp and it seems to work really nicely....but the thing is...it only works when I click on winamp(when winamp is active).

I tryed configure my hotkeys in winamp to use my favorite buttons and it works with the keyboard wheter i click on winamp or elsewhere on the screen but DONT WORK WITH the powermate.

I looked at all the plug-ins and didn't find anything convinsable.Please help!

I think you'll need the plugin for winamp. Otherwise this won't work if winamp is inactive.

Are you using this with a front end? Your front end should have hotkeys that you can use that will control winamp while not on top. The only time it wont work is if you have an imbedded program like gps on your front end, the powermate will control that program if you have it configured to (at least in my experience)

Is there a plugins already created for the hokeys?, I see that we can send hotkey to winamp by editing the config file...but is their another way?
