I have a similar issue. I have a AMD A8 quad core laptop with 8gb RAM, fresh install of Ubuntu 13.04. In my case, my primary drive is an SSD and my secondary drive (also mounted in the laptop) is a standard HDD. All the music is on the secondary HDD and it /is/ auto-mounted at boot. Every time I start rhythmbox up, rhythmbox-metadata takes up 25% CPU (100% of one core). This does not appear to be an issue with changing files while rhythmbox is closed. It already loaded the entire collection (6198 songs, 56.8gb) but still it takes 100% CPU. I did not have this problem when I was using amarok on Kubuntu 12.10.
If it makes any difference, I have a symlink from /home/<username>/Music on the SSD to /media/store/media/Music, which is the location of the music on the HDD. Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1168441 Title: rhyhtmbox: high cpu-usage when playing music from second hard drive Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: As described above.
