Play Button [New to Mac]

[KingEugo]

Am I the only one using Apple Music rather than Spotify? The sound quality on Apple is a lot better than the other. My problem is the behavior of the play button on Mac.

When I want to play music and press the play button, instead of iTunes, it plays the previous video I watched. On youtube, it plays or pauses the video instead of the music.

I want it to be specific on iTunes. How can I do that?
All I see on google is how to change it on Spotify.

**i did search the page, didn't get anything helpful.**

That key did actually used to control only iTunes or Spotify playback but only recently did Apple extend it to also be able to control media in web browsers too.

Anyway, a nifty little app called Media Key Enabler lets you specify only using that key for iTunes:

Oh, that‘s what happened. Now I know why it stopped working.

The play button controls the last thing you interacted with. Some times it's useful, most of the times it's not. I have the same issue. I used a utility call HyperDock which lets me quickly access controls from itunes or spotify.
