Thanks for this great app. I listen to a lot of music at work and this give me a perfect way to quickly apply the ‘love’ tag to a song.

I’ve been looking for something like this since I started using Last.fm. I use Winamp to play music and I’m too much used to using global hotkeys, so I missed them a lot when using the Last.fm client. This app works perfectly fine!! Even the “buggy” play hotkey Thanks a lot!!

Excellent, thank you for this useful utility. I can now use my phone to control the Last.fm player, as I have been doing with Winamp.

Finally looked at the link. The approach described in there would probably work, but it would cause the Last.FM window to activate & deactivate every time you pressed a hotkey. I think that would be annoying and would cause problems with fullscreen applications (i.e. games).

I don´t know how do you access the buttons…. but maybe you find some useful information about the media buttons (or any other acces to buttons) with the AutoHotkey software… there is a interesting post on last.fm forum: http://www.lastfm.com.br/user/andymantell/journal/2006/09/01/3ak1_use_your_media_keyboard_buttons_with_the_last.fm_player%21#shoutbox

I try this… but don´t work for me…. But maybe you understand better how to make it work.

Probably can’t do a mute hotkey because the “mute” icon in the player isn’t really a button, just a part of the “volume control” component. Might be hard to hit it programmatically.

As for media keys (I think that’s what they are called) on certain keyboards, I would support them if I could… But there’s no documented way to access them in the programming language that I used. It probably can be done (in theory), but I don’t know how.

Hi, I do this… and just start working Don´t know why… but now works…

If you accept some requests… Well… Maybe a mute hotkey… and control with the global hotkeys (like play, stop, skip, etc… some keyboards have this..) will be amazing!!

Sorry for the english!
