Rhythmbox won't accept mp3's in library and then self-terminates.

[Robert Persson]

If I try to import mp3's into the Rhythmbox library I get the message "There is no
plugin installed to handle a mp3 file" for every mp3 file. Then, about 20-30 seconds
or so later, rhythmbox shuts down without warning.

Do you have gstreamer0.8-mad installed from universe? Ubuntu's rhythmbox needs
that package to be able to play mp3 files.

Bingo! Works now. Thanks!
