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 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.
