Rhythmbox import from folder appears to choke on large number of files

[Gordon Fitch]

I attempted to import a folder containing several thousand MP3s.
The process stopped after approximately 1220 had been scanned,
without an error message. Most of the files do not appear in any
of the displays, so I take it they have not been imported. I am
wondering if there is some upper limit; I do not see anything about
it in the documentation. It has been suggested that this is a bug.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better, however the report is missing some information, may you please run rhythmbox as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt ; perform the steps to reproduce the bug and attach that resulting log file to the report? Thanks in advance!.

IN order to cut the problem data down to manageable size, I tried the following, which is associated with the problem reported. In this case a playable MP3 file is imported (as the contents of a folder) and doesn't show up, yet there is no error message. The folder name is '/media/m2/A/music/verdi' and the file is 'Verdi - _Nabucco_ - Karajan [Complete].mp3'. The following files will be attached:
* rhythmbox-debug-0.txt (Start RB with no database, a few files in ~/Music)
* rhythmdb.0.xml (result in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox)
* rhythmbox-debug-1.txt (try to add Verdi mp3)
* rhythmdb.1.xml (result in ~/.local/share/rhythmbox)

I will continue to try to replicate the choking problem deterministically; thus far things have occurred differently with each run.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of Rhythmbox is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back? Thanks in advance.
