This program doesn't appear in the "Default applications" > "Music" menu at "System settings" > "Details". I know that is posible to manually set every audio format to open with it. But is there a way to make it appear on the menu at System Settings panel?

That way my media keys will work automatically too.

I also know that the media key problem can be sorted out by setting up custom shortcuts but I preffer avoiding that if posible.

My system: Ubuntu 14.04 Unity

UPDATE:

I found what it seems to be the correct file to modify:

~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list

The lines under [Default Applications] looked quite suspicious to me...

But... I were lazy and just replaced every "rhythmbox.desktop" for "gmusicbrowser.desktop". Of course that did the trick helping me setting Gmusicbrowser as default music player in the System Settings panel also I can now launch the player by using the corresponding media key. However I couldn't make the other media keys to work (prev/next/play/pause)...

The problem might lie at the time of installation, I think that Gmusicbrowser isn't registering the mime types that can play, therefore Ubuntu can't realize that it is an audio player, so for now it has to be registered manually.
