    You guys all know the Multimedia buttons on the Vostro/Inspiron lines, well I was wondering if there is a way to change which media player they control like default they control WMP so I was wondering if I can change that to like iTunes or Winamp in any way, thanks.

    you don't need a plugin for winamp to work, just "enable global hotkeys" in winamp preferences.

    They control any media player that I have, apart from VLC (which I don't use anyways). If both Winamp and WMP are active, the keys will control Winamp for some reason.
