just wondering is there a play/pause toggle in winamp that if winamp isnt playing anything ( In stopped mode) that it will start playing a song?

i've tried to have it on a multi state but that just restarts the song with the play feautre every time it goes to the state, and play/pause toggle needs the song to be on

i have a program called flex touch that i hit windows + space and it will play pause a song, but also start a song if none is playing, i wanna map a feature like that to the play pause mulktimedia key on the keyboard

also is there a way to have it so that when im h0olding windows key i dont need to release it to do a new command?

i think that the reason why you have to RE-press the windows key is because if it's still held, yuo send WIN+Space, then the next time, girder only sees Space.... as there's no key up/down. my remote has button up/down/RT (repeat) functions for each button. but for a keyboard, i think your only option might be to see if you can do somethin with once a key is "repeating".... but i'm just a determined user... who's still a newb :P if there's other info out there, i'd like it too... i'm sure i'd have need for it in future projects.

though im pretty sure the windows key is like shift and ctrl, etc, where u dont need to hold them down LIKE THIS IS HOLDING DOWN SHIFT, and stuff like that.

the other program i have, flextouch, allows me to do this as much as i want, but i wanna make girder be able to do the feautures i use the most such as play if stopped, and if playing then toggle pause, stuff like that.

also is there a way to assign the next and previous keys to if u hold it down to fast forward, like most cd players do?
