I am using bluetooth headphones with OS X Lion. The headphones (like most bluetooth headsets) have built-in play/pause and back/forward controls. Using the play button will always launch iTunes, even if another audio player is running.

Is it possible to set the system up so that the bluetooth headset will control another audio player (in my case I want to use it with Spotify).? Is there a way to "catch" the play action sent to the system and handle it myself somehow? (I'm new to OS X)

Control program other than iTunes with bluetooth headphones
