TechnologyI know you can do this with quicksilver but I can’t be bothered to work it out.
SizzlingKeys is genius. apple+alt+right arrow changes the song, the back arrow goes back a song, the up and down changes the itunes volume. Ctrl+space pauses/plays and opens itunes. I seriously can’t live without it! Now to get hooked on quicksilver!

Yeah, I used SizzlingKeys for quite some time until I discovered Quicksilver. Quicksilver is an awesome little app, I would use it no less than 10-15 times AN HOUR. Only takes a few days to get used to it. I am yet to discover the advanced power of Quicksilver yet though.
This only makes me wish I had a Mac even more.
I’ve heard that quicksilver is quite cool. Wish I could try it out. Oh, to be stuck on Windows…
I noticed you changed the design between now and the last time I dropped by. Neat! This design is so clean.
I once had sizzling keys on my mac but i could have sworn it installed some sort of audio drivers and my speakers have never been as quiet as they are now.
but then again i installed a program called perian the same day which i looked over and it had a lot of drivers, and i took it off my mac and my speakers still haven’t been the same. so i took sizzling keys off too.
its a really neat app tho. i had f1 as skip f2 as play/pause and f3 as skip, oh it was so handy for me :)
So I installed SizzlingKeys and got pissed off because it wouldn’t let me change the ctrl + space hotkey, so I decided to change the hotkey in quicksilver instead … at which point I worked out how to control itunes with quicksilver and it also works with itunes in the background. Awesome. About to uninstall SizzlingKeys now. :p
FYI: Right click on the quicksilver icon in dashboard and go to triggers and set the itunes from there. It also doesn’t have the annoying popups SK seemed to have.
Wow, that’s all confusing to me! I guess it’s because I don’t have/have never used a Mac…
I use quicksilver now and it’s pretty useful once you get used to it.
Does SizzlingKeys work when itunes is in the background? If it does then I will definitely have to check it out as I was looking for something similar for a while, although the ctrl + space will have to be changed as that’s what I use for quicksilver. :p
That sounds pretty cool. :) Quicksilver is pretty handy when you don’t feel like going through your applications folder to find something. I rarely use it though.
Sizzling Keys sounds like a pretty convenient application to have when you’re lazy though. :)
