Please fork this project and customize it to your own needs.
I look forward to your fork becoming the de facto version.

Global keyboard bindings to control your Chrome-based music player. Allows your keyboard media keys (play/pause, next, previous) to work when you're listening to music on common streaming websites.

UPDATE: Now uses Chrome's built in key binding (as of version 25)
