This is a guide for setting up rdio in ubuntu. Specifically via gnome-shell as an application.
Install Google Chrome on linux
Download Rdio's icon. Place it in ~/.local/share/icons/rdio.png
.
Place the attached rdio.desktop
in ~/.local/share/applications/rdio.desktop
.
Place the attached rdio-pause
in your home directory, for example ~/bin
. Mark it as executable. Open System Settings
and choose Keyboard
. Choose Shortcuts
tab then Custom Shortcuts
section. Add a shortcut named Rdio Play-Pause
, and give it the full path to rdio-pause
. Bind this to your play/pause key. You'll need to install xdotool
for this to work.
Thanks for this. I made a small change to catch all the variant title bars (ie "Heavy Rotation - Rdio"):
xdotool key --window $(xdotool search --name .Rdio | head -1) space
xdotool key --window $(xdotool search --name .Rdio | head -1) Right
xdotool key --window $(xdotool search --name .Rdio | head -1) Left
