Hey guys

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 on an old laptop while waiting for new RAM on my main PC. I play music through the network from my brother's PC, but there are quite a few AAC files that resulted in an automatic codec search (which turned up 0 results). I did a bit of reading about AAC files and read that someone tried installing the gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse package.

I did the same, and since then, the seekbar in Rhythmbox is broken. If I click somewhere to seek forward in a track, nothing happens. The bar reverts to it's original position and the music keeps playingfrom the beginning. I have tried uninstalling gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse, but the problem still occurs.

Any ideas on how to fix this, and how to play AAC files?

If you want, you could try Banshee (it is in the repo's, and it pretty similiar to Rhythmbox has a tad more features.)

Thanks rudihawk Banshee works great :)

But that doesn't really fix the root of the problem, if you know what I mean. At least I can properly listen to music in the meantime :)

EDIT: After importing my music (~9700 songs), banshee is as slow as a bear wading through thick mud :/

EDIT EDIT: Banshee has the same problem on certain songs :/
