Wireless Logitech Keyboard Media Key Programming

[travisio]

I have a Logitech Wireless Keyboard Pro blah blah. Anyways when you hit the media key to select what application you want to adjust the volume in, change the song etc. it lists: Windows Media Player, Real Player, Win DVD, and Windows Media Player 7 (hehe bunch of crap two Windows Media Players stupid microsoft Anyways I want Winamp to be listed in there. That is my primary Mp3 playing program. I tried reinstalling it after I installed all the other programs but it still didn't list it. Does anyone know how I can do this? I like to play mp3s and games at the same time but I can't start, stop, or change them because I can't select Winamp as my player. Thanks for any help.

Perhaps check your iTouch or Winamp install is up to date...

i should note that it doesnt show up on mine either....Cordless Desktop Optical

Yeah I am using the same keyboard rob but I went threw the iTouch config and there was nothing about it. As well I installed the latest ver. of winamp (besides the beta) and it still no workie

 

[Raspewtin]

hey maybe it has to do with version number? r u guys using winamp3?

Did you try installing Winamp again after you installed the iTouch program?

If you hold the CTRL key then hit the Media key, it should open a dialog box that will let you choose what the button does. Just select 'run program' and browse to Winamp, should take care of it.
Mine ran Winamp out of the box, but I think that's because I have Winamp set to be my primary player for almost all the file types.

I havent really tried to add it, i dont really use it at all and everything i do use is there......but the CTRL-media trick doesnt work here......just get the normal list of installed things.

 

[travisio]

Yeah the ctrl-media button didn't work for me either....hmmm this is kinda stupid expensive keyboard/mouse combo and can't get the full functionality out of it. And yes I installed winamp after the iTouch. I am gonna try and uninstall iTouch and reinstall it and see if it detects winamp.

Well that answers my question but thanks for all the help......stupid Logitech

 

[travisio]

Well I emailed Logitech and asked them if they would include support for Winamp on their media key in their next release. Instead the sent me an email telling me what registry key to enter to force the keyboard to default to a certain multimedia application. It was a quick and helpful email I was real surprised. Two thumbs up to Logitech and thanks for everyone elses help.
