Well, not too sure :) I had both gmusicbrowser and rhythmbox installed, 
but at the time only gmusicbrowser was showing up in the indicator menu. 
I remember fiddling with the dconf settings, but I was also doing other 
tweaks at the same time so I may missed something else I did to get 
rhytmbox to show up. Looking at rhythmbox's plugin preferences just now I 
see that I have both MPRIS and MPRIS2 plugins enabled. I believe least 
one of those is required to have rhythmbox controls present in the 
indicator menu so the OP may want to check that on his system.
