gmusicbrowser FAQ: How do I control gmusicbrowser with global shortcuts or multimedia keys ?

You have to configure your window manager to execute the command gmusicbrowser -cmd PlayPause when the key combination you want is pressed. Replace "PlayPause" by the command you want, to see the list of available commands, run gmusicbrowser -listcmd.

If you have the DBus perl bindings, you can also control gmusicbrowser though the DBus interface.

If you use Gnome > 2.18, you can use the included gnome multimedia keys plugin (needs DBus perl bindings), that will automatically make the Play/Pause, Stop, Previous and Next multimedia keys work.
