    i was wondering if there is a button on this keyboard to skip to next song when using media player? Its kind of a must have when playing games and listening to music. and if notis there a way to program a key for that use?

    There are no function buttons on the 8660 aside from email, web browser, and silent mode.

    You can set global hotkeys in winamp, personally I have mine set to:

    ctrl+right arrow - next song
    ctrl+left arrow - previous song
    ctrl+down arrow - pause/play
