Comment 41 for bug 811475

In an effort to quench similar comments coming in recently, here is the current state of things, including solutions:

A patch isn't really necessary because it's fixed upstream and it's known that the bug exists in versions of rhythmbox <2.97.

So..What needs to be done is a request for the version in quantal (2.97-1ubuntu5) to be backported to replace the version in precise (2.96-0ubuntu4.1) or precise-updates (2.96-0ubuntu4.2). (What is the correct procedure for this?)

OR you can install version 2.98 from the webupd8 ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/rhythmbox
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
