Why Was Keyboard Media Keys Section Commented Out?

[Gerst20051]

This command was commented out and I'm wondering if it works or if it broke something. I'm annoyed at how the media keys will only control itunes rather than spotify.

# Stop iTunes from responding to the keyboard media keys
#launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist 2> /dev/null

How would I revert this command? It does work in the sense of it doesn't open iTunes anymore, but the media keys completely stopped working for any other apps now.

Also experiencing the same issue as @edmundojr. Media keys on external keyboards have stopped working for all services Spotify etc. - not only Itunes

I think this would work. @edmundojr @gustavhartz

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.rcd.plist

Probably because of https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles/issues/814#issuecomment-348139650
