Looking for a keyboard shortcut to mute volume

[minkabelle]

I like to listen to CD's at work and when the phone rings, I have to mute the sound to hear the phone. Is there a keyboard shortcut I can set up (eg. ALT-CTRL-M) so I can mute without having to open the program and do it that way?

TIA

There are probably different shortcuts for different audio programs. What do you use to listen to your music?
