A media key is an additional key on the keyboard that is used to control media or programs on the computer. The most common keys are those to control music on the computer and to open a web browser or the email client. The prerequisites are a media keyboard driver that needs to be installed on the computer system and a software that is making use of the keys.

Not all media players come with that functionality though. Media Keyboard 2 is a software program that adds support for media keys in several media players that do not support those keys by design. The software adds media key support for the following applications: VLC Media Player, XMPlay, Winamp Classic, FreeAMP, 1by1, Xion and Zinf.
