Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.

Since this "crash" is an abort triggered by a failed assert, there is no .crash generated. I have reproduced this with another song. Rhythmbox is version 0.11.2. I don't know what version gstreamer is.

I found the original bug against the GStreamer Fluendo MP3 plug-in: https://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/trac/ticket/18

The solution is to remove that mp3 plug-in and use another, or upgrade to the 0.10.7 version of the plug-in which I compiled for Gutsy and attached to the referenced bug, or which is already included in Hardy.
