change camera button to dedicated music button?

So I finally got fed up with my storm 2 a few days ago and switched to droid x. Absolutely love it.

BUT

on the storm 2 there was a dedicated music/audio button on the top of the phone. It was extremely useful... walking around, if i need to walk into a deli to get a soda, i reach into my pocket hit the button, pay for the soda, hit the button again. Don't even have to take the phone out.

i'm sorely missing this function on the droid x. I almost never use my camera anyway, and the few times I do I can just put it as one of the dozens of ways to shortcut to apps from my homescreen.

I've found a few ways to remap the button to launch the music app, but seeing as how I can just get a widget for my music app, that's not really helping.

Is there any way I can switch the button to turn on/off the music on my phone?
 
I don't think so and that is because although you can root this phone, the bootloader is locked so that custom kernels that allow this sort of thing are not able to be installed.
