Play/Pause buttons - different application? Given the age of this question, and the fact that it's about the remote, I think there's merit in asking this again, and separately:

On a Mac keyboard the F8 key is also a play/pause button. By default, it controls iTunes. I would like to use it to control another program (specifically Vox)


Is this possible?
Is it possible without third-party software?
It's possible, but not without third-party software or scripting.

You can use the Vox preference pane to set this though:



(go to Vox → Preferences → Controls → Setup)
