    I think so, on my m1330 the media buttons are registered as keystrokes (ie like any other key on the keyboard) and Windows knows what to do then. This leads me to believe they will just work in Winamt too :)

    Then how do you configure them ? I would love if I could get them to work with iTunes. How about the remote control, is it possible to configure that too ?

    For Itunes: Download this file. Its a global hotkey plugin.

    and unzip it on this location:

    C:\Users\your user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes Plug-ins

    Restart iTunes

    For winamp: Go to preferences and enable global hotkeys, thats it :)

    Wow thanks! Do you, by any chance, know how to configure the remote control so it works with VLC ?
