How to install Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 16.04
Rhythmbox is a free audio player that plays and organizes music tracks. It is designed to work under the GNOME desktop using the GStreamer media framework. It supports features like Music playback, gap less playback, music importing, audio CD burning and SoundCloud support. This tutorial covers the installation procedure of Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 16.04.
