The new major add-on I was blabbing about is 'dAP Keyboard Control', it allows all the functions of dAP to be controlled locally (when dAP has focus), or globally from any other application. See Start >> Programs >> dBpowerAMP >> Configuration >> Keyboard Control
If you have a keyboard with play etc, the Media button now shows dAPs select music files dialog, I think I will make it an option to either show this, or MMC.
There is a little surprise in PLaylist editor, or Previously Played.

PS. If your keyboard button controls from the previous beta stop working, reinstall it (I think there is a slight problem with Spoon Installer and dll files in use)
