How many times have you been listening to your favourite track in a heated game, rocking to dem beats, when suddenly- bam!

You need to alt-tab to adjust the volume, (or a track you don't like comes on!), and your game is disrupted or may even crash!

You can't play it separately (like on your ipod), because you want to be able to adjust the volume quickly on the fly! You can't use WMP, Winamp, or iTunes because that involves Alt-tabbing, which can get you killed!

I petition the addition of a Media (or music) player in the Steam in-game overlay, with the ability to change tracks, play, pause, and adjust volume at least.


Join if you share my pain!

Some of people are probably thinking what's the point in all this?

Well, *most* of the available media players going take up an annoying amount of memory. It doesn't render games unplayable by any means, but when the song changes or something like that... More

I have a Microsft Sidewinder X6 Keyboard, and the media control keys (play/pause, mute etc) come in very handy for changing music in-game on the fly, so the overlay should have native support for media controls on keyboards.

All i do is use that spotify free music thing, but have to set up a playlist and listen to the same songs over and over again. Like the idea of a practicle Media player <:D
