I'll play with Amarok - it's got more than I really need - I just want a player, but I did notice the "mini" player that works pretty well. Thanks for the info, Jeff.

Run gconf-editor from a terminal (as your standard non-priv users) 2. Edit the following keys: /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_1 (through 10) 3. Place the key combo(s) you would like in each one... Say N (for next song) 4. Edit the corresponding value in /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 (through 10) to be something like '/usr/bin/xmms -f' to move forward in the playlist. You may also want to look at the -e command, to make sure the playlist isn't cleared on first launch. The alternative is to switch to a real desktop environment such as KDE, or use Amarok, the only real audio player - lol -Feige Pat,
