im using 10.04 and i have a problem with Rbox.
it now just freezes upon opening. it starts to scan library but 2 seconds later it just stops. i have let it go for days- nothing ever starts again.

a few details;

i have 70GB music folder on external hardrive as library folder,
i have been playing with other music players,
guayer......???/
Banshee ( has improoved heaps in last year)
ATUNES ( is real good in my op)


I have been playing around with AWN and screenlets which caused some problems with loss of min,max buttons on top of screen. and screenlets constantly dissappearing even when locked.Screenlets now removed.

i removed some Apps- google earth and a few others by accident when using hardware janitor
i have cleaned Rbox out of system and then Reinstalled and problem is still there
1st question; Rbox has been removed again.
im wondering if i have broken my ubuntu and whether to just reinstall it.
or is it easy fix
2- when i download music off p2p and then move it into library folder - the folder gets split 1 with music in renamed folder and original with album art and info files etc ( this is for folders with long name and have a - or [torrentazos.com] or they have a torrent file in the folder - in them
Sometimes 1 or 2 songs get thrown into UNKNOWN Folder- WHY????
and trying to move them back into folder with other songs fails - they just return to same folder
is it to do with settings each Music Player comes with as default
i have never changed any settings in any player - OTHER THAN the library folder

Any ADVICE or help is greatly appreciated , even just a little of your knowledge

cheers Daz

I noticed there was an update tonight for Rhythmbox. I am testing it now...
Computer Janitor can be dangerous, you have to watch what it is removing.
