How to: Use an Apple Remote with Grooveshark

Note: Follow these instructions to enable the use of an Apple Remote with the ONLINE version of the Grooveshark player, on a mac. Works with Firefox and Chrome.
- Download (and install) the keySharky extension for either Chrome or Firefox.
- In the keySharky preferences page, set keyboard shortcuts for the Grooveshark player. Grooveshark will now respond to these shortcuts when your browser is in focus.
- Download Remote Buddy (€20; 30 day trial) and open it.
- (If you’re using Firefox, skip to the next step). In the Remote Buddy application menu, open the Behaviour Construction Kit. Open the Behaviour Factory tab. Click the plus sign in the lower corner. Drag Google Chrome.app to the Bundle Identifier. Click the gear icon and select Compile, testdrive, and permanently install Scripted Behaviour.
- Open the Remote Buddy preferences. Under Mapping, select your browser. Here, map each button to the shortcut you used in keySharky. For example, click next to Play/Pause to choose an action for it; choose Custom Actions, and enter your Keystroke there.
- Voilà, your Apple Remote now works with Grooveshark online.
