Spotify media keys not working windows 10.
One of the most FRUSTRATING things about upgrading to Apple macOS High Sierra is the media keys not working for programs such as Spotify, iTunes, VLC, etc. Here we have a little workaround/fix that will fix the media keys not working in High Sierra. This fix is tested and working on iMac’s, MacBook Airs, MacBook Pros so it should work on any Mac.

After much searching, we couldn’t find an easy way to fix the media keys for MacOS, until we came across this little program. It’s simply called High Sierra Media Key Enabler. Its. SUPER SIMPLE to use. Just run it and your media keys will be like they used to before High Sierra. This is the best fix yet until apple does something!
I used to be able to use the media keys (F7 for previous, F8 for play/pause, and F9 for next) to control spotify on my macbook pro. These no longer work, I have to switch screens and use the mouse to click the icons within spotify. Please note - I do not have any chrome extensions hijacking my media keys. Name the shortcut EXACTLY as the Controls. Now press JUST the key on your macbook. Click + to remap Previous. Name it Previous and press the key to map that shortcut. PS: This won't work if iTunes is not the active app. So if you're using some other app and press the shortcut, it's not going to work and change the song. I want to write a Songbird extension binds the multimedia keys available on all Apple Mac OS X platforms. Unfortunately this isn't an easy google search and I can't find any docs.
