I don't think it's necessary to keep the music playing when the window is closed. The only reason I can think of for this to have been decide originally is to reduce the amount of space that 'background' apps took up on the taskbar in pre-Unity Ubuntu. Now that Unity is here, we have a much more efficient way of managing active applications via the Launcher, and minimising it to there is unlikely to impact the user- experience since I believe the user is likely to already have locked the icon to the Launcher.
I believe that the section on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundMenu#compliance should be amended to remove the following passage "A compliant player should also keep playing if you close its window while it is playing" and that Rhythmbox should be patched to stop playing regardless of whether it was "close" or "quit" that the user selected. ** Changed in: hundredpapercuts Assignee: Papercuts Ninja (papercuts-ninja) => Nick Tait (jnick-tait) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/875002 Title: choosing quit from unity launcher doesn't close rhythmbox if music is playing To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/875002/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
