I haven't used synergy, but I've always been happy with X-Tunes (http://www.pol-online.net/index.php?page=freeware scroll down to the bottom). Its free and uses the floating palette thing like the application switching display (is that growl?).

You press a combo to make the control appear (i like apple-?) then use the arrow keys and return to skip, change volume, stop and start. I've been using it since 10.1 and found it very handy.

IF you're using Konfabulator
I suggest Itunes Remote been trying a few and this one is my favourite except it need to be closed to close down iTunes ! along with Dockart its fun and reliable

N.B. Never used synergy

i was using xtunes, but there's some fatal flaws - you have to press a combo of keys to use it, whereas synergy can assign basic controls to F-keys (f13 to play/pause, etc), also the fact that xTunes uses black or grey text instead white means it's mostly illedgible ontop of web pages. synergy is very good, but there is a €5 charge for it. maybe i should just pay it.
