Rating songs with keyboard

You can use my program, iRemote, which creates shortcuts to the iTunes interface.

Check out the site in the sig for the program.

Yes it should be. Can you email me with exact error / when it happens.

Also try opening iTunes before the program.

This error popped up for me though:

Run-time error '91';
Object variable or With block variable not set

By the way, can this program do fast forwarding via the keyboard? I don't like how iTunes just skips to the next song.

Thanks for informing us about your program. It appears to be a good start to addressing the needs of Windows users who like iTunes.

I am having a bit of trouble configuring it to add keystrokes. I select the keys I want to use, and the function they should call and select 'Add New', but what shows up in the list is always "Win+P;PlayPause" even though that isn't want I selected. Attempting to edit the string fields manually results in a Run-Time error 383 and the program crashes out. Am I doing something wrong?

Also, just a suggestion: It would be nice to have a system tray icon to call the progam up, particularly in the case of using the 'None' skin inadvertantly and then trying to access the preferences.

Hey Slipknot, thanks for the system tray idea, I'll implement that soon
I just chekced the keyboard shortcuts manager and it seemed to work fine for me. You have to add a shortcut first and then you change what the shortcut is by selecing the different checkboxes and options.

As for getting the iRemote menu through iTunes menu, there is unfortunately a very small possiblitiy for this :( The COM doesn't provide it and any other way of doingg it makes iRemote very unstable.

re: "Here are the settings for the itunes.xml profile in the firefly profiles folder:"

Pardon my ignorance on the subject but I'm not entirely sure what to do with this information. How do I apply this? What is firefly?

Thanks in advance.

It appears that the above modification is independent of the Firefly remote control system. Will editing my XML file allow me to add keystrokes that are not native to iTunes? If so, is there an online tutorial somewhere I can research how to do it properly?

I already have a remote control unit which I use through my Sound Blaster Live! drive. I purchased a program called "UICE" to allow this remote to control anything on my system, sort of like the Firefly system. It was this setup that prompted my original post on this subject several months ago. If I can get a program to do add or remove stars via a keystroke, then i can program the remote to access it.
