    I've noticed that the play/pause/next/prev multimedia keys in the G73JH's d-pad only work with Windows Media Player, and for example don't work with Itunes. What's more, if I press Fn+Down when WMP is closed, this opens Windows Media Center. Anyone have a solution to this problem? :confused:

    not sure, the media keys work fine for me in Itunes.... Maybe you need to update your Itunes to the latest version?

    Don't use iTunes or W(i)MP, kind of hate them. However, in all of it's massiveness, doesn't iTunes have a way to configure the shortcut keys?

    I have the latest version of Itunes.

    I hate Itunes as well, but it's the only reasonable way of syncing my ipod touch, all other options are incomplete or half way there.

    I ended up using a 3rd party application (Itunes Control) to define global keyboard shortcuts for itunes, couldn't make the real media keys work.
