[ubuntu-uk] Cranky old Rhythmbox

[Phill Whiteside]

Just while I install it and vlc, it is time to ask the usual silly
question... So do forgive me!

Have you got the latest version from
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/rhythmbox/

I'm a VLC fan, but have had rhythmbox running well in the past with a large
library.

Regards,

Phill.
P.S. this is a clean 13.04 lubuntu install, so I need to 'add' things to it
:)
