    Rather than the next song on a playlist, my next track button skips one. Eg 1 -> 3 rather than 1 -> 2...
    Anyone know why/how to fix?

    That definitely doesn't happen to me. What media player are you using?

    Try it with Windows Media Player, Winamp, iTunes, or something else.

    Unchecked global for the hotkey in options>hotkeys and it works, but only if MM is the active window.

    Work is in WMP, I actually like my computer though, and iTunes isn't getting it's filthy paws anywhere near my registry.

    I am in total agreement.

    This happens to me too, but not very often, so i usually just rewind one, and it works.

    I have iTunes, and the media keys work just fine.
