Hi John,

Adding special hack to accommodate VoiceOver is not recommended. VoiceOver is just one of many assistive applications available. VoiceOver uses control-option-space to press on UI controls. If you use spacebar to play/pause, then you simply need to check that modifiers are not held down too. Check the event's modifier flags, and only allow play/pause toggle when no modifier flag is included.

Can anyone tell me how to determine when VoiceOver is running. Much like iTunes, I use the spacebar for Play/Pause but like iTunes, I need to stop this behavior when VoiceOver is running so the space bar can be used to activate UI controlls.
