Does anyone know how to start RhythmBox in quiet mode?
Best Answer
There is a plugin for this...
disclaimer - I'm the author for this plugin
Called rhythmbox_hide, this is a little applet that either starts rhythmbox hidden or minimized.
By default, when the plugin is enabled through the menu option Edit - Plugins, rhythmbox starts hidden on startup, but through the plugin preferences you can uncheck this option and rhythmbox will then start minimized.
This plugin is particularly useful in combination with another plugin called remember-the-rhythm.
When used with this plugin you can start rhythmbox via the startup applications option for your Desktop Environment and on login, your last track that was playing will be immediately start playing.
how to install
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/fossfreedom/rhythmbox_hide
cd rhythmbox_hide
./install.sh
You will be prompted for your password which installs the dconf schema key used to remember your preferences option.
Alternatively, if you prefer a package installation method:
I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 and Rhythmbox 3.3 and an old IPod nano
In my case I just copy from existing playlist in Rhythmbox and paste in IPod device it have it's own icon in Rhythmbox so the process is as follows:
Create new playlist if not have any with desired files
Select all the files that need to be transferred to the IPod
