How do you get rid of single mp3 entries. That’s what is most annoying for me.

I like Rhythmbox more than Amarok ’cause have a cleanest interface.
Do you know if exist some plasmoid to control it on KDE , the plasmoid for MEDIA only works with Amarok, and others media player , but not with rhythmbox

If you go Edit->Plugins and tick “Minimise to tray” it will go to tray on closing the window

I think the Rhythmbox is the best choice between all the audio players on linux. I’m gnome fan so I don’t like KDE’s Amarok, which also has a bad browser, in my opinion.
I’ve testet _many_ audio players for linux. It came out that the RB has all I need and all I want. others may be having more features (like intelligent playlisting like in listen or recommens feature in banshee) but have a too high resource usage. And others again have less features or a bad music browser or an ugly skin which I can’t change to gnome

So I’m happy with RB.
I hope RB will also get some more interesting plugins.

Try Control-W for minimizing to tray quickly.

[...] If this happens, the only way to fix it is to restart the X server – or so I thought. At first, I thought it was the issue of just one application – namely RhythmBox. [...]

You can actually get Rhythmbox to look at more than one folder – there just isn’t a config option for it in the UI. Run “gconf-editor” from the command line, double click on “Apps”, scroll down to “Rhythmbox” and click on it, then double-click on “library locations” on the right hand side, click on “add”, then in the dialog that pops up, type in the other location you want to add, in the format “file:///your/music/dir”, click OK, and you’re all done.

Now when you look in Rhythmbox config, you’ll see that instead of your original music dir, it says “Multiple locations set” – so from then on you’ll need to use gconf-editor to add/remove locations. Until they (hopefully soon!) add it to the UI.

And I wholeheartedly agree with the above comment – all Rhythmbox needs to be the best linux music player is the ability to front-end mpd – the most versatile music player.

really this “minimize to tray” problem is a big problem. I never like it to click on tray icon to minimize the rhythmbox.

Rhythmbox has also this cool feature, with which you can share your songs with others. Its pretty cool specially on LAN. You get this list of people who are sharing music and you just select one and play the songs. I like it a lot.

Though there is this feature I would like rhythmbox to have. It should support mpd. I now prefer to run mpd over rhythmbox/amarok.
