    Hi all.

    I've recently got a Lenovo 3000 V100. Nice laptop, but the multimedia buttons on the keyboard (play, stop, ff, etc) do not work with WinAmp. They do work with Windows Media Player.

    Any clue on how to get WinAmp to recognize them?

    I am not sure this would work (and I can't check since I don't have multimedia buttons), but if you go into winamp preferences --> global hotkeys, you can set keys that will always control winamp if it's open. Maybe try going in there and associating the appropriate actions with the multimedia buttons.

    Thanks! Enabling Global Hotkeys did the trick. Didn't even have to redefine the keys.
