I find that in 13.04 (though not as far as I can recall, previously), it

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.
