A couple of days ago, we covered iTunesInfo, an iTunes controller that allows you to configure globalhotkeys to perform different actions, such as Play, Pause, Stop, Adjust Volume, Shuffle Playlist etc. It is quite a big program with lots of options to adjust hotkeys and view song information in notification window. If you are looking for a simple software that enables you to change the track and play/pause music without confusing you with a lot of options, try iTunes Hotkeys. It is an open source application for Windows that interacts with iTunes and allows you to set custom hotkeys to switch to the next or previous song in the playlist and play/pause the currently playing track. More on iTunes Hotkeys after the break.
Adjusting the hotkeys is pretty simple. Run the iTunes Hotkeys executable file to open the hotkeys selection window. There are 4 tabs, namely Play/Pause, Next Song, Previous Song and Submit Hotkeys. The application allows you to choose Win, Ctrl, Alt or Shift in combination with Function Keys, Numpad keys, Alphabetic keys or Symbol keys as the modifier keys. Once hotkeys for all three functions are selected, head over to the Submit Hotkeys tab and click Submit.
You can also edit the hotkeys by opening the iTunesHotkeys.ini file found in the source folder and edit the corresponding hotkeys of PnP (Play and Pause), Next (Next Track) and Previous (Previous Track).
iTunes Hotkeys is a portable application and works on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8.
