Hi,

Ive got a Toshiba Equium laptop and the media buttons on it work fine with WMP, but I was wondering if there was any way to make them work with Winamp as well. I dont want to change my default media player to Winamp as I use WMP for watching videos mostly.

Is there anyway to do this? Make my media buttons work with more than the default media program?

Thanks all.

oooh thats a nice laptop, my brother has one.. one with the touch sensitive keys that light up white?? :P

anyway, usually media butons work with whatever is open, so first question is, do you have to enable a plugin in winamp, cos I know the media buttons on my keyboard work with whatever's open, mp or itunes etc..

touch sensitive keys? im guessing i dont have it or they are broken, cus my lappy has been through the mill recently. Ill have a look in winamp for a plugin and get back to you

no plugins that i can see, probably just my lappy being wierd as usual

no touch sensitive buttons? how do you have media buttons?? if its meant to have those buttons, drag your finger along the top, above the keyboard, as the activation button is there somewhere

what? i have no idea about keys lighting up but i have a line of keys above the keyboard. Going from left to right.... Power → Browser → Media Player → Play/Pause → Stop → Back → Forward

oh ok, my brother's has a light button instead of browser button, i guess its a slightly different model.

anyone else got any ideas about the buttons working with winamp?

i think i may have found the answer, have a look at this:
