I've been trying to get media keys on my keyboard to work in Songbird. (next, previous, pause and stop). but nothing seems to help

I also cant find any windows plug ins that do that either

I'm running windows 7 64bit pro with a Microsoft Wireless keyboard 2000 v2.

The media keys work for other audio applications such as Spotify so I don't know whats going on

Perhaps this program would help you out?:

Alternatively, There is Hotkeys option in Songbird to use global hotkeys on Windows. Go to Tools -> Options -> Hotkeys. Try to assign your Multimedia Keys in there. Some keyboard are equipped with single multimedia keys. You might have a problem with single keys. Global hotkeys are used with modifiers (Ctrl, Win, Shift, Alt). use modifiers with any single keys (letters, digits, arrows).
