Recently, I made the switch to Songbird, and it's all gone well except for one thing: global music hotkeys. I installed an addon (Apple Keyboard Media Key Support) that enabled me to use the iTunes hotkeys for Songbird, but they also open iTunes. How can I prevent iTunes from opening when I press the media keys?

Try MMFix (english translation here). This tiny little utility patches the remote control daemon, which controls the media keys (and thus freeing it from the grasp of iTunes).

@tekknolagi running the application again will let you reverse it. – user78429 Jun 26 '11 at 5:54
