I don't have a multimedia keyboard that works with fb2k properly so know little about its multimedia keyboard functionality, but if I am not mistaken, the multimedia keys work like any other keys in fb2k. That is, if they are not bound globally, they will only work while within the application. You need to rebind these keys to be global in Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts. You're going to have to remove all multimedia keys (the keys which include (MM) in their name), noting the function associated with each one (Playback/Pause, etc.). Then, select the Key field, press a multimedia key, select the appropriate function (i.e. Playback/Pause), check the Global checkbox and select Add. That should do the trick.

i have this keyboard.

jteh is right.

just set them as you would normal hot keys, and make them global.  For best compatibility, do not install the logitech software.  (although that takes away my dandy control-the-volume-with-the-all-too-useless-mousewheel-on-my-keyboard setting  )

I don't even have iTouch installed and it works if you follow jteh's method.  I'm currently using Girder to control both foobar2000 and Media Center.  Girder is an extremely powerful program (although somewhat cumbersome) for setting up wireless remotes (and a variety of other devices) to control your computer.  A free alternative is the Human Interface Programmer (HIP for short).
