| Mac Users: Control Streaming Services With Your Media Keys Posted: 11 Jul 2014 11:00 AM PDT  You’re about to walk away from your computer, so you absentmindedly hit “Pause” on your Mac. Nothing pauses – instead, iTunes launches. Stupid iTunes, no one wants you! So you CMD-Q to close the still-loading iTunes, then open your browser to find the tab playing music, then hit the appropriate “Pause” button. Terrible.
