Change volume of airport using the master keys, not itunes volume slider

airportituneskeyboardsound-volume

My roommate recently bought an airport express, and I love it. Minus the fact that when I'm blasting music and someone wants to talk to me, I need to open iTunes and either lower the volume or pause the song.

I am so used to usng the f11 f12 keys that this is driving me insane!

I read somewhere about sizzling keys and how it can help me assign a different shortcut to control iTunes volume. Is there a different, or better, fix?

I would love to be able to use f10-12, and not the iTunes volume.

Note: I am on a Macbook Pro 2012 with standard keyboard, so currently, f10 is mute, f11 lower, f12 raise volume. They work fine when I'm not using airport.
