How do I disable the back/forward mouse buttons?

When using foobar the back and forward buttons on my mouse make it go to the previous/next song but I don't want this behavior.  Is there anyway to disable it?  I've search through the preferences menu but I don't see any options to do this.  My mouse software doesn't have the option to exclude/configure individual programs either.

Which version are you using? If it's 1.0 then i guess it's because of the new "Improved compatibility with multimedia keyboards".

Don't hit those buttons when the mouse is over the foobar2000 window?

use Autohotkey
back and forward buttons will be disable only in foobar2000

#IfWinActive ahk_class {97E27FAA-C0B3-4b8e-A693-ED7881E99FC1}  ;foobar2000
XButton1::Return
XButton2::Return

You can find a solution directly above your post.

Is there any chance of a real solution, like being able to disable the buttons/actions in foobar2000 itself? Every other media player program works like this, yet foobar2000 doesn't. I can't understand why.

I don't get how this program works at all and don't have that much knowledge/experience with hotkeys.  I know it's not the most complicated thing in the world, but regarding the actual software itself, you think you can maybe explain exactly how it functions?  That would be great.  I don't need to learn it inside out.  Basically I just want to disable all media shortcuts in Foobar (Back, Forward, and Play/Pause), but only globally (for them still to work when the program window is in focus).  Better yet would be to set a priority for it yo work only when it's the only media software open (for other programs such as Spotify or Media Player Classic to take priority).  Is this possible?  Thanks, much appreciated!

Btw, sorry for reviving an old thread guys.
