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 succession, even immediate succession, without being
closed and reopened.
I didn't acknowledge Phill's statement that he would let me know of
guidance for installing Rhythmbox 2.99 from the FTP package. But I look
forward to that. Thanks, Phill.
By the way, do you remember I mentioned the absence of the unread mail
indicator on the Thunderbird launcher? I reported it as a bug on
Launchpad.net and was immediately informed it had already been reported,
twice, and will be fixed.

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.

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.

have installed.

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.
