    What he said.

    You need to be playing your music player for it to operate properly. Basically it serves as a means to control your music player without alt-tabbing.

    iTunes 9.0.25 failed to be identified on both of my machines. One running Win XP x32, and one running Win7 x64.

    I've got version 9.0.3.15 running on Windows 7 x64, just tested it and works fine.

    I heard that WMP wasn't supported... has this been changed in a recent patch?

    It works for me. My main complaint is that it isn't persistent on the screen when you enable it. IE: it has to be brought back every time you transition to another zone.

    Yeah, that UI team is looking into that but apparently its more complex than they though given how the UI has to be cleared during things like login screens. It should at least remember its position now.

    Glad to hear ... I love the feature but gave up on it after having to recall it the ten thousandth time :p

    You should give a way to bind it to a key. Not stay up solution, but would make it way more usable.

    I have to load iTunes first, start playing it, then go in game and click the pause/play button, but then it works fine. I wish they had an in-game playlist or loop option instead of having to go back to iTunes. I love this option though, these missions go great with the soundtracks from Undiscovered Country, Generations, Insurrection, and well most of them.

    And you have it set up in your game Options> Audio as the default player? i have no problems with the game starting iTunes when I pull up the player in-game.
