Bug Description
I'm running Hoary. I had double entries in rhythmbox, so I decided to remove
them all and import the 'albums' directory again. It contains 18gb of music in
about 3500 files. It took a while, of course, but at a certain point the system
got *very* unresponsive. It turned out the load was raised to about 18 (!), and
memory usage of rhythmbox according to top was 65% (I have 512MB ram and 512MB
swap). After a long time and a lot of patience rhythmbox was killed, or I could
kill it in a terminal.
I repeated this a few times, also after removing ~/.gnome2/
problem persists.
I should note that there was a popup to tell me one mp3 could not be imported,
because the stream type could not be detected.... Other mp3's apparently did
work, and I have gstreamer0.8-mad installed.

can you run "rhythmbox -d" and see what happens, on what file it's hanging?
