I have a multimedia keyboard with Play/Pause, Next, Previous, etc. buttons on it, and use Rhapsody for my music. There is an issue, however, where the program will not recognize (or OS will not pass) the multimedia keystrokes unless it is the active window.
Is there a way to get around this with a 3rd party program (Autohotkey or the like) and have it capture keystrokes and feed them to specific applications?
hmm. On a Windows I am not sure, as my main computer is a mac. But I would imagine the solutions would be similar for mac and windows. Anyway, 3rd party apps sound like a really good idea but mac also has that built-in services menu in System Preferences>Keyboard>Services, so that you can specify the hotkey or keys, which application to use them for, and what they will do. – FALL3N – 2012-01-15T22:07:28.560
2The user mentions Auto Hotkey, so he's on Windows. – Daniel Beck – 2012-01-15T22:11:35.380

@Nick, I solved a similar problem using AutoHotkey: http://superuser.com/questions/368633/play-pause-pandora-com-with-a-media-key/371141#371141

@Nick, I will take a shot at this tomorrow. There are a few ways to do this with AutoHotkey. – iglvzx – 2012-01-18T07:45:50.533
