Summary0012685: Media Controls do not work after Chrome installed
DescriptionThere was number of reports that Media Controls do not work in MMW when Minimized if Chrome is started.

Reason for that is http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/stop-chrome-hijacking-media-keys-heres/

I'm not sure that we can do anything without introducing similar issue in MMW?

Sounds definetly like Chrome's issue (or rather Google Play Music for Chrome ?).

Workaround should be to add value PreferLLKeysHook = 1 to the [options] section of MediaMonkey.ini file
as described in this KB: http://www.mediamonkey.com/support/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/49/0/multimedia-keyboard-buttons-dont-work

BTW the KB is not well formatted for some reason, could you correct the formating?
Also please track this issue in the KB article.
