    I don't use XFCE myself but I found this thread that suggests that you can use the keyboard settings to set XF86AudioNext to exaile --next and XF86AudioPrev to exaile --prev. If that doesn't work out of the box, you may need to see what keycodes these media keys use with xev and put them in your .Xmodmap as described in the FAQ.
