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

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 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 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 this is just the commonest immediate symptom of a general
haywireness that sets in if it has been left running but idle
for more than a few minutes. By the way, AFAIK, I only have
this on one of my three machines, but they are all
identically set up, with completely fresh installs of 13.04
and then all files, including the 1850+ albums, reloaded from
an external hard drive. This takes an hour or two for each
fresh install, but it gives me maximum free space, so I do it
happily, rather than install the new versions keeping the old
files and settings.
