Hello,

I can't find the shortcuts to allow you to go forward and back, play/pause etc..
I want it in the form of a Application Launcher.

I know the keyboard shortcuts.. just want an icon on the panel. click it, skips the track. etc.

Thanks,
Tom

I installed music-applet which you can add to your panel


sudo apt-get install music-applet

Right click panel - add to panel - look for music-applet

Not sure of another way of doing it myself, doesn't mean there isn't though of course.

Thanks for helping but thats the last resort.

I want something like,

rhythmbox --next

rhythmbox --playpause
etc etc.

I've found a couple of scripts for raising lowering volumes - maybe you could change them to suit your needs.

Rhythmbox seems to be quite basic, which I assume is it's appeal to some, sorry couldn't help more.

You can do it with rhythmbox-client. It allows you to control an already running instance of Rhythmbox, so don't forget to run it first.

So for example to go to the next track, you'll do:
rhtyhmbox-client --next

Give
man rhythmbox-client
in a terminal for more info.
