The autohotkey script that pops up when you google "spotify autohotkey" broke, and that pretty much prevented me from listening at work for a week. Very annoying to not have a quick way to stop my music when a coworker taps me on the shoulder.

I've since downgraded, but for the day where I was using the new version I had to switch to something more clunky:

  SetTitleMatchMode 2
  IfWinExist,Spotify Premium
  {
    WinActivate
    sleep, 100
    send, {space}
  }
  SetTitleMatchMode 1

And alt-tab may also help, but it sometimes brings up the wrong window.

I noticed this too. It works if you map to the `Media_*` keys, e.g.

    F6::Media_Prev
    F7::Media_Play_Pause
    F8::Media_Next

Just buy a Mac - there's a play/pause button on the keyboard!
