Your experience of Rhythmbox is totally inconsistent with my experience
of Rhythmbox.  I run it for days on end without hassle.  I am using
0.12.8 (Debian Testing), which version are you using?

Ubuntu have dropped Rhythmbox for Banshee.  Reasons unknown.
Consequences:  Ubuntu now depends on Mono even more than ever.  One
assumes Canonical will indemnify Ubuntu users against any possible M$
patent attack.
