Ask HN: How do I tell OS X to use Spotify as standard music app?

I want OS X to launch Spotify and not iTunes when I hit the play button on my keyboard and no media app is open already.


Alfred can global hotkey system commands. You could try binding that key to `open /Applications/Spotify.app` or something similar.

This probably isn't the best forum for a question like this though, try http://superuser.com/ if Alfred doesn't work for you.


Add to that RemoteBuddy if you have an apple remote:
