Bug Description

I can't set 'Rhythmbox' as a default for listening to music.
When I try to set 'Rhythmbox' as the default program (for music playback) this setting is not accepted. You cannot set this up, as the 'Movies' program is automatically set as the default program immediately. I have tried many ways, but no changes to this topic.
I will be grateful for help.

It's not working in that way, I tried, but the effect is the same as I wrote above.

@queen8387: Thanks for reporting the bug.

This will be fixed in a few days. I am not sure if there is a workaround for this.

For now, you can open rhythmbox, and import the songs and play it from there, rather than from GNOME File manager.

I cannot seem to reproduce this in Ubuntu 20.04.

Is this still an issue ?
