Best option: use a multimedia keyboard, which sends the a play/pause event
off of one key.
Alternatives:
* Use CTRL+P
* Use some sort of hotkey mapping software that maps CTRL+P or the
play/pause event to one key
* If you have the current track highlighted in WMP, you can use the space
bar to play/pause since it's sending an activation event on that entry -
which is mapped to play/pause anyways.
