Vostro Multimedia Shortcuts

Hi

 

I have a Vostro 1400 and I would like to know how to use the multimedia keys to control functions in winamp. The functions play, pause, prev and next, because it just work with windows media player, and I would have more options than just media player to use this shortcuts

 

Thank in advance

 

Jonas

    Jonas,

     



    This is an old tip from forum member bacillus ... don't know if it works with the Vostro's or in Vista. Go to http://mijav.dk/index.php and scroll about 2/3rds down the page to


    "Dell Inspiron media buttons Winamp 2" plugin

     

    to make buttons work with Winamp. If that doesn't work you can probably find a solution in the Winamp community.

    Thanks for the post, I have found what I want.

     

    After search the plugin pagehttp://mijav.dk/?q=node/13 I found this advice

     

    Notice: The plugin has been superseded by the Winamp 5 plugin "General-hotkeys" which is shipped with winamp - however some people say this plugin version works better.

     

    So, if you want to use the multimedia keys of your dell with winamp just go to winamp preferences and enable global hotkeys.
