yeah but if you wanted your script to be closed source you wouldn't post it on the forum, or you would compile it first, so in my opinion anything on the forum is open source, so you can use it as long as you cite your sources

Try this one. It works almost every time. It looks for hidden windows, so sometimes it finds itunes 'sidekick' windows, such as itunes remote speakers... instead of itunes main window. I'll look into that later.

Anyway, I mapped win+left to previous song, win+right to next, win+space to play/pause and win+i to launch itunes.

Enjoy

Code:
#right::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
;WinGet, active_id, ID, ahk_class iTunes
ControlSend, ahk_parent, {right}, ahk_class iTunes
;MsgBox, The active window's ID is "%active_id%".
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

#left::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, {left}, ahk_class iTunes
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

#space::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, {space}, ahk_class iTunes
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

#i::
Run %ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe
return

Ok, and here you go with a version that works with minimized and 'trayed' iTunes also.

Code:
; ############## iTunes ##############

; win+right -> next song
; win+left  -> previous song
; win+up    -> volume up
; win+down  -> volume down
; win+space -> play/pause
; win+i     -> play/pause

#right::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
;WinGet, active_id, ID, ahk_class iTunes
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{right}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
;MsgBox, The active window's ID is "%active_id%".
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

#left::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{left}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

#down::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{down}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

#up::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{up}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return


#space::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
ControlSend, ahk_parent, {space}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

#i::
DetectHiddenWindows, On
IfWinActive, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
   WinMinimize
else
   Run %ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe
DetectHiddenWindows, Off
return

I only recently started getting into AHK, but this is exactly what I've been trying to do. I wonder, is this possible with any app? VLC perhaps?

Thank you, so much.

There's also a way using COM, which seems to be more reliable and it's the official way to remote control iTunes. Well, I've no script yet:

Hi @ all,

I´m a total newbie and have no ideas about scripting...

But I need to control my iTunes with these shortcuts either.

Can someone explain where I have to place the scipt to get these functions?

Thank you very much and sorry4lack of knowledge ;-)

Hiya h8cru. I assume you have already downloaded AutoHotkey. Just open Notepad, paste the script and save as a .ahk file. Then run the .ahk file whenever you want to use the hotkeys. If you want the script to startup whenever you turn on the computer, put it in your startup folder (C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USERNAME\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\).

Daorc :)

Hi all,

I’ve tweaked the previous script to add the following:

Win+i now activates the search control so you can search straight away
Enter (when inside the search control) will start the songs playing that fit your search criteria and then minimise iTunes.

So now, using the following will play all the songs from your favourite band:

    Win+i
    Type “my favourite band”
    Enter


Fast, easy and simple! (I hope). Let me know how it works out ...

Code:
; ############## iTunes ##############

; win+right -> next song
; win+left  -> previous song
; win+up    -> volume up
; win+down  -> volume down
; win+space -> play/pause
; win+i     -> run
; enter (inside iTunes search control) -> play + minimise iTunes

DetectHiddenWindows, On

#right::
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{right}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
return

#left::
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{left}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
return

#down::
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{down}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
return

#up::
ControlSend, ahk_parent, ^{up}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
return


#space::
ControlSend, ahk_parent, {space}, iTunes ahk_class iTunes
return

#i::
IfWinExist,ahk_class iTunes
   {
   winset,top
   winactivate
   controlclick,Edit1,iTunes ahk_class iTunes ;activate the "search" control
   controlfocus,Edit1,iTunes ahk_class iTunes ;activate the "search" control
   }
else
   Run %ProgramFiles%\iTunes\iTunes.exe
return

#IfWinActive,iTunes ahk_class iTunes
~enter::
ControlGetFocus,focus_control,iTunes ahk_class iTunes
if focus_control=Edit1
   {
   PixelGetColor,playpause,82,39 ;detect pixel colour of the play/pause/stop button
   sleep 100 ;before winminimise - stops "enter" being relayed to the next down window
   winminimize
   if playpause in 0x212122,0x1B1B1C ;playing
      {
      ControlSend, ahk_parent, {space}{space} ;send "play/pause" hotkey twice (pause+play)
      return
      }
   if playpause=0xF4F5F5 ;paused or stopped
      {
      ControlSend, ahk_parent, {space} ;send "play/pause" hotkey once (play)
      return
      }
   }
return
#IfWinActive

Can you make it select the text already in the iTunes library search box? Just a suggestion that eliminates the need to deletes whats already there.

I didn't include this in my version because by doing so it would clear the search that is already playing (e.g. if I am listening to a particular band by having that band's name in the searchbox, and don't want to expand the currently list to include all of my music). If you want to change that, you can either:

press excape after pressing Win+i (this blanks the searchbox)

or

add a "controlsend" command to send the escape key just after giving the focus to the searchbox.
