Media Button for foreground app

Media Controls only work when you specify the specific media player.

It would be better that there would be an option to run them on the foreground app whether it's Spotify or VLC or any other players.

For example, if Spotify is playing media button pauses Spotify and when VLC is playing media button pauses VLC. While now, unless you define which app the media controls should act on, this  task won't work.

I've asked around and found out that one should be play around with intents and setting key down and key up to register or unregister audio play button, which is sth beyond the capability and knowledge of many of us.

Please make this play pause button independent of a specific app and assign it to the audio that is being played but whatever media player that is being played!

Or at least maybe assign a new task as "play/pause/next/stop AUDIO" for this intention. 

Cheers

In the beta you can use the App Info action to check what app is showing and then use the Media Control action to control that app. :)
