Is there anyway to get Rhythmbox to stop playing the current track when it closes without first pausing/stopping the song manually?

This is intentionally the default behaviour: allowing you to minimise ("close") Rhythmbox and control it from the Sound menu. To work around this you need to "quit" Rhythmbox by selecting File->Quit in the menu, or using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Q. |

With some applications, typically media players, they run in the background unless you quit the application. Whenever it is open, use File > Quit or Ctrt+Q. They typically run in indicators on your panel. This is so that instead of closing when you want to clean your desktop, they keep playing. |

It seems that there is much disagreement and flip/flopping on how the close-window, (x) button, etc. does/should work in Rhythmbox. In fact both behaviors have been reported as bugs on several occasions for various reasons. This one claims After reading around through bug reports, I think that's exactly how it's supposed to work. If you read this comment in the above-mentioned bug, the poster claims the behavior can be turned on/off by enabling/disabling the Status Icon plugin:
I tried this on my system (Ubuntu v10.10, Rhythmbox v0.13.1) and it did not work. Back wading through the bug reports it seems there was a patch applied to fix an indicator-application compatibly issue that broke the Status Icon plugin behavior. I am no longer 100% sure what the current status is on all this, but I think the above procedure should work. Indeed, toggling this behavior in Banshee is a very similar process, which actually works. |

I know that Clementine and Audacious stop playing when you hit the "x" button. Maybe you should try those players instead. |
