iTunes is a bitch in Snow Leopard

Every time I click FN + F8(play/pause button on apple keyboard) iTunes opens, didn’t do that in Leopard. I use Cog to play music, not deleting iTunes, need it for my iPod touch. Doesn’t look like I’m the only one with that problem. Thanks apple for being a dick. Guess I could keep iTunes open and select the Store tab, but I don’t want iTunes open, then it will use my valuable ram.

Update
Possible solution found here. Didn’t try it yet, you need to edit the file in a terminal and as root.

sudo mv /System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin/ /System/Library/LoginPlugins/BezelServices.loginPlugin.bak/
sudo cp /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteUI.plist /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteUI.plist.back
sudo nano /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteUI.plist

and replace the contents with below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>

save it and reboot. Credit goes to forum user FortyRock on forums.plexapp.com.

Also sounds like it won’t control the volume on your mac after you do that, doesn’t really matter to me, there’s a knob on my speakers to control volume.

Just did it and it works.
