The run I'm describing eventually "ungrayed" itself, after about 5 minutes. I then pressed "play", and I was unable to stop or change tracks. I had to mute the sound and wait, as it was still playing. After several minutes with the UI frozen I press the "window close" button, and the "Force close" window appeared. I force-closed it and it just printed:
Killed as additional output. Completely unusable. Is there another music player that will take .m3u lists? I need it real soon, or I'll be forced to DJ with my android phone :( -- 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/1247259 Title: rhythmbox unresponsive every few seconds Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Since I updated to 13.10, rhythmbox is not usable. After it starts, it freezes on every mouse click on different panes, sometimes it recovers, sometimes it stays apparently forever "gray", and the dialog to "wait or kill" appears. When I arrive to the point where I can "play", it remains unresponsive and I cannot stop playing or switch songs. This was not happening since I upgraded from 13.04 last week.

I have a big collection (almost 20000 songs), and rhythmbox has remained my player of choice for its ability to handle this, but it is slowly changing (in 13.04 it was very slow when it loosed and regained focus, like 10 seconds at 100% CPU every time. Now it seems to last forever with 100% CPU... I can help with debugging, I'm a software developer. The machine where I run it right now is an i7 with 4 cores, 8GB RAM and a fast SSD, so performance should not be an issue. The same music collection was way faster in 12.04 or 12.10... In 13.04 rhythmbox also stopped showing the performance year, which is still there in the metadata. This is a separate bug that has not been fixed in 13.10 :( To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1247259/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
