Using Auto HotKey to Ignore Radio Commercials
I love the music on di.fm but I HATE the commercials. They make me physically ill. Since I can’t quite afford an account, I’ve decided the next best thing is muting the commercials. Unfortunately, I often forget that I have it muted and I site there with the sound off until something in my brain clicks. Anyway, the point is, why remember, when I can write a program to remember for me?
I downloaded Auto Hotkey and googled for a hot second and came up with this little gem:
^+m:: SoundSet, +1, , mute #Persistent SetTimer, Unmute, 10000 return Unmute: SoundSet, +1, , mute SetTimer, Unmute, Off exit
Now, whenever I press ctrl+shift+m, it mutes for 10 seconds. Whoop whoop!
