Keyboard commands for iTunes

[Dale Critchley]

In classic, there was a shareware cdev called "cd-key" that used the 
Function keys to control music CDs: F1-F10 for tracks, Shift for tracks 
11-20, F11 & 12 for skip back & forward, etc. Is there anything like 
that for iTunes? When I'm working on a project and need to pause iTunes 
to listen to my wife, I want a quick keystroke--choosing Pause from the 
dock icon is too slow.

Is there an app that'll let me control iTunes with the keyboard from 
another app?

And on another related topic: What would be *really* cool: having it 
launch iTunes on a remote Mac, so while my wife is sitting in the 
living room at home, I can, from the office next door (Airport), have 
iTunes in the living room start playing a song to let her know I'm 
thinking of her. But that would probably require something like 
Timbuktu, although something similar could be done with iChat, I'm 
guessing.
