Play/Pause (F8) button forces to open iTunes in Snow Leopard

Submitted by manujarvinen on March 25, 2010 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

When you use Spotify for example, and want to pause the playback by pushing the Play/pause (F8) button, the playback is paused, but iTunes is opened at the same time. VERY annoying!

Even more annoying is the fact that this is an added feature (more...)

Solution 1: Make it behave like in Leopard again!

Apple, you are extremely childish using a PC monitor with a Windows 9x style BSOD as an icon for PCs on a computer network under Mac OS X. At least Microsoft don't stereotype your products!
