I got a new wireless sandstrom mouse and a new keyboard. The new keyboard has a play/pause button but no song forward or song back button. I would like to know how to set that up on Windows 8.

1Did you download / run the software or driver that came? If so, there is possibly an updated GUI in Control Panel -> Mouse which may let you set it. – Dave – 2014-01-22T09:20:23.453

If you are struggling to find a driver for your mouse which achieves this, you could try using software to map the extra buttons to specific events. One example would be X Mouse. The linked page says that it supports Windows 8.
