Take Keyboard Control Of iTunes With iTunes Media Keys

We covered iTunes Media Keys about two month ago. The software made it possible to control iTunes with some keyboard shortcuts even if iTunes was minimized. The verdict back then was that it did work quite well but missed customization and options. The software developer did promise a new version and released a new version of the software yesterday.

Version 1.2 of iTunes Media Keys adds the option to select the hotkeys to perform the various actions. Several new actions have been added which can be used to rate songs, forward or rewind them.

The software will add the shortcuts as system wide shortcuts. All that needs to be done to use the software is run it in the background.

The software itself uses less than 1 Megabytes of computer memory while running but about 12 Megabytes of virtual memory, still acceptable for heavy iTunes users. The software requires an installation of the Microsoft .net Framework 3.5. Should run fine on most Microsoft operating systems.
