Would anyone happen to know how I could use my keyboard for general media hot keys? I currently have a "Das Keyboard II" and it did not come with hot keys. I was googling around and could not find any suitable programs.
My goal is to have global volume control and playback control, similar to the functionality of the media keys on a media keyboard. An ideal set up would be to assign keys like this:
=====
Vol +: Ctrl+Alt+PageUp
Vol -: Ctrl+Alt+PageDown
Play / Pause: Ctrl+Alt+Insert
Stop: Ctrl+Alt+Delete
Fast Forward: Ctrl+Alt+Home
Rewind: Ctrl+Alt+End
=====
Or something like that.
If I need to clarify anything, please let me know.
AutoHotKey / AutoIT should be capable of doing this. Don't know how to use it myself really though.

Edit:
Finally figured out how this works. Here is a link to the script, the compiled EXE and the program to compile your own.

Foobar2000 (FB2K)
has global hotkeys built in

I'm not saying it's better than whatever your using, but it's the best thing i've found.
windows key + Numpad0 = Stop
windows key + Numpad1 = Random
windows key + Numpad4 = rewind/start of song
windows key + Numpad6 = Fast Forward/next song
windows key + Numpad 5 = pause
volume is windows key + Numpad 2/8
and so on
Very cool. The reason I prefer my solution, though, is because it adds universal media keys. The biggest one I wanted was volume control. And what I posted is the perfect solution IMO
FB2K is really nice though.
