The iTunes thing was my deal... I added a context menu to allow selecting of an iTunes database in a non-standard location, and figured this meant I could enable iTunes on all platforms (I could, for example, manage my music with itunes on Windows and then use the library on linux in mixxx). I actually tried this after you mentioned it here and it turns out itunes stores absolute paths so it's useless on other OSes, so that's disabled on linux.

I can't explain what's going on with Rhythmbox feature on your system. I reverted to that revision of 1.9 and the feature was still enabled. The only thing Rhythmbox feature depends on is the existence of at least one of:
~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/playlists.xml
~/.local/share/rhythmbox/playlists.xml
Could you verify at least one of these exists on your system?

Then the title of the bug report is misleading i guess.

I had set up a new VM and not opened Rhythmbox since. Saw the iTunes entry in the library and thought it has overridden Rhythmbox. Tested with latest r2681- solved. Thanks.

BTW
The context menu to allow selecting of an iTunes database on Win/Mac is rather useful, this way you can also manage different iTunes.db`s .

Thank goodness, I really wasn't sure what was going on otherwise :)
