// This allocates a "magic ring buffer" that is mapped twice, with the two

Detaching/reattaching Mac media keys to iTunes

You've been there...

Maybe you're listening to your favourite song on Rdio, or maybe checking your Soundcloud stream. You reach for the play/pause key on your keyboard and BAM, motherfucking iTunes comes up. Don't you hate that? I do.

Luckily, there's a way to fix it. Open your terminal and type:

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist

Voilà, iTunes no longer responds to the media keys. The only downside is that now iTunes doesn't respond to the media keys at all. I couldn't care less, but if you're a crazy person who actually likes iTunes (poor you!), you can reattach the keys at any time with:
