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 :) On 10 May 2013 14:07, Rowan Berkeley <rowan.berke...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 10/05/13 13:55, Alan Pope wrote: > >> On 10/05/13 13:33, Rowan Berkeley wrote: >> >> 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.
