Steam Client idea

Ok, Ive been thinking, i like to listen to music when i play my Team Fortress 2 and Garrys Mod, but i hate Alt + Tabing out, because it locks up my PC everytime i wanna change song or album
and so i cannot continue play. It also lags my game as it uses memory usage whilst im playing the game so it makes it harder for the computer to run, so like the Web Browser, i think it would be cool if when you Shift + Tab into the Menu you can click it, select your albums and play.
Its only an idea from personal experiance so dont go hating ¬.O

Thanks

What do you use for your music player, if its Itunes, there is an easy fix for that using an autohotkey script to setup an easy way to skip songs ingame, aka mine used to be shift-alt and then < or > to skip back and forth, also could adjust my volume with ; or ' as long as shift-alt was held down, i am sure there is other scripts that also effect other music players.. or you can also get keyboards that have a skip button up the top,

Ye, i got one of them, but it only works for WMP but im not a big fan for that. Could you tell me how to script? or any links? I wanna learn to script cause of these sorts of macros, and shortcuts.

I just thought an onboard Media player would be cool. and alot easier :P

I found this one to be the easiest to modify, and the simply yet effective but works

That tells you how reasonably easy how to set up the keys you would like to setup, but you will need autohotkey of course.. if you are not using itunes.. though i don't know if i can help you heh and don't blame you.. WMP is eh
