gmmkeys

Gmmkeys is a useful Amarok script that allows you to enjoy the best audio player under the popular Gnome desktop environment. If you've ever felt torn between Gnome and Amarok, this script can help bring harmony to your computing experience.

By utilizing gmmkeys, you'll be able to manage Amarok with ease, especially if you're using a multimedia keyboard. The script handles Gnome multimedia keybindings which control Play/Pause, Stop, Previous, and Forward operations in Amarok. Pressing any of these keys will prompt the corresponding action in Amarok, all while running on Gnome.

To run gmmkeys, you'll need to have several dependencies installed including python, pygtk 2, gtk 2, Gnome, and naturally, Amarok. Additionally, gmmkeys uses a binary module called mmkeys.so, which comes from the Exaile project. If you have an i386 processor, you can use the version provided in the tar.bz2 file. Otherwise, you can use one from Exaile or recompile mmkeys.so from the source code.

Overall, gmmkeys provides a seamless way to enjoy Amarok while using the Gnome desktop environment. Give it a try and see how it can improve your audio experience.
