Does anybody know how to make the M$ multimedia work with Itunes ALL the time? Right now, the keys only work when I have the focus on Itunes' window, wich is kinda annoying.
It worked fine with my previous Logitech kb, but alas, there was no drivers for Vista64 for that model.

Not too familiar with the Vista kernel, but it seems it's a driver issue- that the buttons are working at all means they're included in the driver; maybe see if you can find a hacked DLL that gives the custom keys shell integration?

Well, all I've read says it's working with the driver, nothing else necessary...
I'll dig into MSKB.
I wonder about that... Microsoft and Apple are still having the iTunes vs. Zune wars, so I can't see one opening up their methods of shell integration to the other; I have a strong suspicion you'll have to find a third-party workaround.

You could use iTunes for OS X. :)
The obvious solution is to dump iTunes and switch to something less intrusive. :)

It's even more intrusive on a mac as it's more integrated with the OS.
