Gmusicbrowser - How to use labels in "gmusicbrowser -cmd" commands?

Hi, I installed Arch two days ago, coming from Mint, and I enjoy it very much so far.
As a desktop environment, I installed XFCE and overall everything has gone flawlessly. However, I am facing a bit of a problem, which I cannot seem to solve.

I use gmusicbrowser as my music player, and I want to map some keybindings to the program. I've already set up 'PlayPause', 'NextSong' and 'PrevSong' using XFCE's keyboard shortcuts, but I want to map my remaining mediakey to label the current playing song as a favorite.

The output of gmusicbrowser -listcmd, shows me that gmusicbrowser -cmd SetSongLabel should do the trick.

gmusicbrowser  -listcmd

But I have been unable to figure out how to set up the label in the command. The following outputs are commands that I  have tried, and they did not work:

gmusicbrowser -cmd SetSongLabel favorite
gmusicbrowser -cmd SetSongLabel argument : favorite

How do you set up the command correctly, so that the current playing song will be labeled as a favorite?

If you've come this far down, I sincerely thank you for your time. I would very much appreciate any help I can get!

Re: Gmusicbrowser - How to use labels in "gmusicbrowser -cmd" commands?

Hi,
I've found out that the arguments to the command are passed in brackets, which must be skipped in the shell, e.g. 'gmusicbrowser -cmd Forward\(10\)'  (seek 10 seconds). Your case should follow the same, I guess.
