I reported this a while ago in the beta stage, but I guess it got missed .

Anyways, I have to use Dell AccessDirect for multimedia key support. I'd like to just associate the key with various command line MC commands, but the software only let's you customize two of the four keys.

So anyways, when I press Play/Pause, for example, MC will pause and unpause for five seconds or so, so the song shutters, oftentimes continuing to play when it's done. Then an error comes up, saying that windows can't find CDplayer.exe, which of course isn't a part of XP. The keys work fine with WMP 9, WinDVD 2000, and even used to work fine with a Winamp 2.X plugin used to have.

This has been an issue for a long time (going back to MJ8). Is there any chance you could take a look at the way you deal with Windows multimedia keys? Pretty please?

This is probably not something we can do anything about without Dell's cooperation.

The keyboard might be Logitech compatible.  Try a search here for info on how people have gotten that working.  There was a thread on it in the last 2 or 3 weeks.

But doesn't it all go through WM_APCOMMAND or something to that effect? It's not that it lists any specific software that it works with (as the logitech keyboard).

MC is receiving the commands, but for some reason it gets the commands more than once.

I found AccessDirect's registry entry, and all the entries have checksums, so I can't change them (grrr to dell). So I can't just associate them with MC's play command, etc.

Anyways, if you've got too much going on to deal with this,  I understand
