@TheMikeyR are you on OS X? I'm on 10.10.5, and I fixed this error by installing pyGObject & GStreamer with Homebrew: brew install pygobject3 gstreamer. If you're installing PlayMusicCL in its own virtualenv you'll also need to symlink the system gi package; I use virtualenvwrapper and did this with the following commands:

cdsitepackages
ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi gi

(I would have preferred to install pygobject3 local to the virtualenv, but the package says that's only possible on Windows.)
