The most important shortcut for every listener is Ctrl + P for pause and play, depending on whether your music is paused or not. This shortcut is only available while the application is open and in use.

9. Volume Mute/Unmute

You might need to urgently turn down the volume of your music for different reasons, and F7 lets you do this immediately by muting the song. Press it again to unmute.

10. Volume Up/Volume Down

Use F9 and F8 to increase and decrease the volume of your songs, respectively. As with the mute shortcut, this might not work on your system as it is tied to a function key.
