I'm now extremely smitten with Songbird as my default audio player. However, I had to install an add-on which would enable SB to use the same playback control keys which iTunes uses. (f7-f12 keys) Problem is, when I use the play/pause key (f8) iTunes opens. I obviously don't want this to happen, and am not sure of how to stop this from happening, outside of getting rid of iTunes.

I would,[get rid of iTunes] but have an iPhone and my wife has an Touch, so we still need it *thanks to Apple not wanting other media players to play nicely with their hardware/software* Uninstalling isn't an option. Any other suggestions ?
