Rhythmbox, the default audio player in Ubuntu was updated recently to version 0.12.4. Among the changes:
Interesting changes:
* New HAL-free media player detection code (using GUdev and the media-player-id collection of device info files); improved MTP device detection allowing multiple devices and devices not explicitly supported by libmtp (Jonathan Matthew)
* Audio CD improvements: allow metadata retrieval to be retried, link to the musicbrainz submission page when data is missing (Bastien Nocera, Matt N)
* Configurable action for mouse-wheel events on the status icon (volume control or next/previous track) (Gustavo Mora)
* Rearranged to link properly (should help building on Windows or with -Wl,-as-needed, probably) (Jonathan Matthew)
* Variety of crashes fixed (Jonathan Matthew)
* Occasional transfer problems with MTP devices fixed (Jonathan Matthew)
Bugs fixed:
322265 - Can't reload CD metadata
376863 - option to configure default action of mouse roll event on tray icon
437110 - librhythmbox-core.so missing some library links
535065 - If a cd is not listed in musicbrainz it can not be added
561953 - Scan Removable Devices don't works with MTP music players
563544 - rework MTP device detection for libmtp 0.3.0
580440 - lists with only one song don't repeat with both "repeat" and "shuffle" selected
585595 - crash at end of playlist with crossfading disabled
586598 - use streaming song titles for lyrics searches
587662 - improved warning message in python plugin support code
588248 - link last.fm plugin with libsoup-gnome
588257 - occasional crash on shutdown
590108 - crashes if there are no saveable metadata types
591874 - pack right sidebar with shrinking disabled
592325 - crashes initialising an iPod Touch
