    First of all... I have rhythmbox 0.8.8 on my FC3 install. How did you get 0.8.5?

    Could you possibly run this from the command line and see if there are
    any error messages?

    Exactly how many songs are we talking about? You might want to search
    around the web and lists for performance problems with plenty of
    songs. I have no experience in this regard as I only have less than
    1gb and mostly listen to streaming music.

    There's beep media player on the livna repo. But that's just xmms with
    gtk2. I think there's this thing called muine, but you'd need to go
    through mono installations to get that working. How about mpg321? =)
