iTunes ia a great media player and has seen a lot of improvements lately. But one feature that it is sorely lacking is keyboard support for controlling playback of your media. 
You cannot pause, play, forward, skip a playing media with a keyboard hotkey. You can’t let iTunes run in the background and control your media without reaching for your mouse.
iTunes Media Keys lets you do just that. It is a small utility that lets you control playback in iTunes right from your keyboard.
You can Play/Pause, Stop, or skip to Next Track or Previous Track with this small utility. Nothing fancy just that important functionality we have all longed so far in iTunes.
We have also written previously on how to remove DRM from iTunes media.
