Bug Description
Ubuntu 12.04.2
rhythmbox 2.96
In the standard installation of rhythmbox in ubuntu 12.04, the daap plugin is enabled. The default setting for "share my music" is unchecked such that I would expect my music not to be shared.
However, it is accessible through the local network.
I consider this as a security risk as there might be some very personal audio files that one does not want to share. Another potential risk may be the existence of fingerprints in some audio files which are bought legally from certain stores. If such files are getting uploaded somewhere else, this may lead to trouble for the initial user of rhythmbox.
This seems to be identical to gnome bug 663423 which I could not find here an therefore opened a new bug.
