Bug Description

When I start rhythmbox it works normally but after it has been running for a few days it starts to use excessive amounts of resources. Right now its using 1.4GB of ram and 3% cpu.

If I restart rhythmbox then the resource usage drops back down to reasonable levels

I haven't tested this bug on other setups but since opening this bug Rhythmbox has risen to 6GB of memory usage. This happened consistently every time I leave rhythmbox running for a long time
