Does anyone know if I could create universal short-cuts to perform certain actions? I used to have a keyboard with keys for play, pause, skip... that worked in any music player, but my new keyboard doesn't have that anymore. I could really use some global key short-cuts. If it can't be universal, specific ones for Spotify would work too. :-)

Take a look at AutoHotKey. With it you can:
Create hotkeys for keyboard, joystick, and mouse. Virtually any key, button, or combination can become a hotkey.

A program like SharpKeys can help you remap seldom used keys such as F12 etc. to media keys such as Play/Pause:
I've used it successfully with keyboards that lacked special media keys, and it worked fine.

@Ramhound recommendations are ok as answers http://meta.superuser.com/questions/5329/how-do-i-recommend-software-in-my-answers/5330#5330 and http://meta.superuser.com/questions/2592/is-giving-a-shopping-recommendation-prohibited/2600#2600
– Brad Patton – 2013-05-30T20:01:01.980@BradPatton - In the future I will simply say I don't do software recomendation. There are a few exceptions but I don't think suggesting software I have never used is a productive answer and actually the meta answer suggests I post an answer. Furthermore another DON"T is the following
"What's the best XX software" or "I need something that does XX"which I feel describes this question exactly. – Ramhound – 2013-05-31T12:08:16.480Thanks for the replies, everyone! I went with the AutoHotKey program and it works wonders! :-D Cheers! – Nicky – 2013-05-31T14:13:02.440
