There's a plugin for it. The page is in a foreign language, but get it downloaded and installed. Works very well. Been using it for 3 months!

http://mijav.dk/ Click the "Download DLL" link. Download it, unzip it, and throw the .dll file into the Plugins subdirectory of the Winamp directory (usually C:\Program Files\Winamp)

Tried both methods, both work great

only differance is with the logitech software is that you loose the blue sound meter, not a big deal

I didn't like the Logitech because it was causing my DVD player to jump 2 chapters everytime I hit the Next/PreviousTrack keys on the right ..

Weird...i never had a volume meter besides the regular win xp one..... How would i be able to get one? I formatted as soon as i opened it so maybe it's a program of some sort that Dell put in?

Hey there, i am using the logitech itouch software..

pretty cool

i couldnt get that dll to work? i'm using winamp 2.80

my problem is when i hit play, it opens up winamp with no music loaded... can i have it so it opens the last instance? ie the last playlist i had?

otherwise the usage is cool!

how come this works?? was the keybard subcontracted by logitech?

I dont think so. There are probibly standard signals for media-keyboards that windows recive and that winAmp use.

Hmm good point from the both of you....

i actually have a logitech keyboard for PC, and the play button will load with music in it... but there is a media key button, and you "select" winamp as the program, then it works...

none of those buttons on the laptop tho.....

yeah i stuck to 2.80 cos 3 sucked bigtime... maybe i'll give 5 a shot :-)
