Hi,
I have installed Rythmbox and realised quickly why I do not use it.
I did mention of my preference for VLC. Well, Rythmbox has scoured my
hard drives for about two hours and found nothing. At this point. with
you stating that 2.99 is their final release and it does now seem to be
abandonware, if you stick with Rythmbox you will not get patches.
Regards,
Phill.

Well, like I said, I've got three machines, all set up identically
with vanilla 13.04 64-bit ISO from the same USB stick, and AFAICS it
only happens on one of them, which unfortunately is my favourite, an
old Lenovo N500 with a really comfortable touchpad. Rhythmbox cannot
play two albums in succession, even immediate succession, without
being closed and reopened.
I didn't acknowledge Phill's statement that he would let me know of
guidance for installing Rhythmbox 2.99 from the FTP package. But I
look forward to that. Thanks, Phill.
By the way, do you remember I mentioned the absence of the unread
mail indicator on the Thunderbird launcher? I reported it as a bug
on Launchpad.net and was immediately informed it had already been
reported, twice, and will be fixed.

I have rhythmbox running fine in 13.04, with 6000+ tracks (not
sure how many albums). I've had it open since I booted, about 2
weeks ago. I suspend every night too. Plays fine, although I have
seen problems like those mentioned previously.

believe there is a seperate thread on the way email clients work.
As Rhythmbox is searching my music collection, I don't want to
stress the computer out too much - It's using 100% of one of my
two CPU's.
I'll have a look at what is needed for 2.99 and let you know.

H'mm. I've also tried reinstalling from the repository, using
Synaptic, and it doesn't make any difference, and looking at it,
the thing in the repository is also 2.98. But if I was to download
2.99 from the FTP page you indicated, wouldn't I have to do all
the configuration manually? That would be totally beyond me. By
the way, we shouldn't be top posting like this. It forces people
to read the conversation from bottom to top as well as from top to
bottom.

According to that ftp page, 2.99 was the last version they
made before they stopped, evidently imagining it was as perfect as
it could ever be. I assume that's what I've got, because I assume
that's what's delivered in the complete Ubuntu 13.04 64-bit ISO,
which is what I have installed.

Just while I install it and vlc, it is time to ask the usual
silly question... So do forgive me!
Have you got the latest version from
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/rhythmbox/
I'm a VLC fan, but have had rhythmbox running well in the
past with a large library.
Regards,
Phill.
P.S. this is a clean 13.04 lubuntu install, so I need to
'add' things to it :)

I find that in 13.04 (though not as far as I can recall,
previously), it
is impossible to leave Rhythmbox running after use, ie

play another one. It goes berzerk. Most usually it will

tracks at great speed,
That sounds like your media is on a mounted / removable
device which has since gone away / been unmounted? The skipping
through tracks is often when it says ok, what track is next, lets
play it, oh, it's gone, ok, next track.. etc.
Cheers,
I don't mean it looks for them one after another in rapid
succession and doesn't find them; I mean it literally skips
through each track, jumping e.g. thirty seconds at a time. But
