Hi, 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 for instance having played an album to leave it running and an hour later to try to play another one. It goes berzerk. Most usually it will skip through tracks

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. On

I use gmail, so it all appears in the correct order to me. I 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

Top- posting because the rest of the thread is... 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. Neil.

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
