Alarm Clock Applet

Help! What is the command for other music players?

Asked by Jeff Beale

I am trying to get Banshee to play (instead of the default Rhythmbox command) but
bashee-client-play
does nothing. What is the command I need to get Banshee to play a playlist of songs?
Thanks!

You can also have Alarm Clock play the current Spotify song by using:

dbus-send --print-reply --session --dest=org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.spotify /org/mpris/MediaPlayer2 org.mpris.MediaPlayer2.Player.PlayPause

Can you help with this problem?
