    Can the media buttons on SXPS 16s, work on other media programs such as iTunes or like QuickTime other than Windows Media Player? If so how?

    itunes works normally with the media buttons as long as you have the itunes window on top. There is a driver for using it when its not on the top but I can't remember where it is, google it!

    Media buttons get mixed up when I'm playing a film too, I'll pause a video and it will resume a song which can be a pain when you're in serious movie watching mode! :)

    Thank you so much!!!! It indeed works with YouTube... weird. But I think I have some what solution: If you click the video to play from search, the media button doesn't stop the video. But if you MANUALLY pause the video after you clicking the video to play from search then press the media button, then the media buttons work with YouTube. So to not for the media button to work when you manually paused the video, click some random space of your browser, once. After that, the media button doesn't work on YouTube. I explained the best the ability I can and hopefully it makes sense to you.
