How to associate multimedia keys to Foobar2000?

Question

I have a Logitech Internet Pro keyboard, which has the multimedia keys for Media (to launch player) and Play/Pause. How do I associate these keys to launch Foobar2000 and play/pause the song it is playing?

(This is on Windows XP.)

Solution 1

Multimedia keyboards + foobar2000: A complete guide detailed everything that I wanted to do with the keyboard.

Solution 2

For Play/Pause:

File -> Preferences -> General -> Keyboard Shortcuts

Click Add New and setup the binding you want. Make sure to select Global Hotkey.

As for launching from a keystroke, when you edit the properties of a shortcut you can assign a Shortcut key.

Solution 3

If anyone is still having trouble with this, check to see if you have the Google Music extension enabled in chrome. Disabling it should fix this issue

For anyone who can't see the multimedia key's value show in the preferences, close all your other apps as one of them may have a global hook. I had configured a Chrome extension for grooveshark to use my MM keys but I couldn't re-associate them with Foobar2000 until I closed Chrome.
