Hi,
Does anyone know or have the same problem where pressing the F7, F8, F9 keys (which are previous, stop/pause, and forward) doesn't work in iTunes unless iTunes is the "active" window?
I know that in OS X that if i pressed those buttons, it would do it even if I was in another application, but in the Windows 7 version it won't do it if another application is "active."
Also, the same applies to the Apple Remote.

There's a program called iTunes Media Keys that allows you to map the keys to the play/pause, skip song, go back a song, ect. commands so they work when iTunes isn't the active window.

Just google 'iTunes Media Keys download' and it should be the first link.
