Top- posting because the rest of the thread is...
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.

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.

which is what I have installed.

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.
