+Ha, finally I found a solution to control iTunes with global Keyboard Hotkeys from my [USB Keyboard][tex] without Media Keys. The solution is quite hacky but should work, even in the future.
+
+First, Open Automator.app and create a new System Service. It should not accept any input and the only Action should be "Run AppleScript", found under "Utilities". Then, enter a script roughly like this and store the Service (click to enlarge):

+
+Repeat this with the "previous track" and "playpause" AppleScript commands.
+
+Now, open the System Preferences, go to Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, Services. You should find your newly created Services under General. Assign some shortcuts and you're done :)
