It struggles to start

1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu

Description: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
Release: 14.04

2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

rhythmbox:
  Installed: 3.0.2-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 3.0.2-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 3.0.2-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.0.2-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

3) What you expected to happen

The application starts easily and quickly

4) What happened instead

4.1 As soon as starting the app, the screen greys out, as if running low on system resources. I can now rule that possibility out, because I had only just booted, I had not started any other applications, and this computer has LOADS of memory and LOADS of processing power. This 'greying out' lasts for about 30 seconds or so, and I cannot use the application at all during this time.

4.2 Also right near the end of this 'greying out' time, an error message appears, saying "The application Rhythmbox has closed unexpectedly", despite the fact that the application Rhythmbox HAS NOT closed. I attach a screenshot of the message.

This bug has been occurring for more than a year, and occurs EVERY TIME that I start the application.

here the rhythmbox-metadata process crashed ( which is a backend process used by rhythmbox ). that's why rhythmbox window was still open, as rhythmbox process was still running fine.

need stack trace of rhythmbox-metadata process crash.
