Exaile music player users who wouldn’t mind controlling playback via the new Ubuntu Sound Menu can now get in on the action thanks to a new plugin created especially for this purpose.
The plugin, created by Sunng. enables control of Exaile via the sound menu indicator. It supports all of the functions you’d expect: forward, backwards, pause/play, track info and cover art.
Download
The project is hosted at github,
- Head over to github.com/sunng87/Exaile-Soundmenu-Indicator and download a snapshot package.
- Extract it to $HOME/.local/share/exaile/plugins/
- Open Exaile and enable it via the Preference menu

Exaile now joins Rhythmbox, Banshee, XNoise and Clementine in offering support for the Sound Menu.
I for one love the continued integration between so many fantastic players and Ubuntu’s Sound Menu. Great work Sunng!
