We all know, that Windows and Mac users are able to use new “API” for Grooveshark Desktop, but why should Linux users be different? So without long introduction - GSDesktop Helper for Linux. It’s written in pure PyGTK and needs python keybinder to work, so have everything installed, ok?

1

sudo aptitude install python-keybinder python-gtk2 python

After that, just grab script from git in your favorite fashion:

1
2

cd ~
git clone http://github.com/intarstudents/GSDesktop-Helper.git

Now, for example, you could press ALT + F2 and in “Run Application” dialog enter GSDesktop-Helper/helper.py and press “Run”.

That’s all! Now you can control your Grooveshark Desktop with global keyboard shortcuts defined in wiki.
