I got a Dell Inspirion notebook with AccessDirect-keys which can be used to play/pause or skip forward/backward the songs in the playlist of a jukebox program.
This feature works nicely for Musicmatch Jukebox or Windows Mediaplayer. However, it's doesn't work properly with MC9. The commands send by the keys are executed but in addition the windows cd-player cdplayer.exe gets started.
