Play/Pause buttons - different application?

Question

Given the age of this question, and the fact that it's about the remote, I think there's merit in asking this again, and separately:

On a Mac keyboard the F8 key is also a play/pause button. By default, it controls iTunes. I would like to use it to control another program (specifically Vox)

Is this possible?
Is it possible without third-party software?

It's possible, but not without third-party software or scripting.

You can use the Vox preference pane to set this though:

Vox Preferences

(go to Vox → Preferences → Controls → Setup)

Very helpful, thank you! Great to get further away from iTunes. – asfallows Jan 09 '14 at 19:55
