    g51jx-x1 here.

    I'd like to change the fn + arrow keys (media) to iTunes instead of Windows Media Player. Is there any way I can do this? I don't see any settings or anything.

    If you're talking about launching wmp, you can go to msconfig (type that into the start menu) and then uncheck something like HcontrolMedia or Asus Media keys. Then kill the process of the same name in your task manager. It stops it from launching wmp.

    As for controlling iTunes, it's up to iTunes to accept global media keys. Some programs do this, many do not. I know Winamp did when I tried it out.
