How to Install Rhythmbox 3.4 in Ubuntu 16.04 via PPA

    Rhythmbox is an audio player that plays and helps organize digital music. Rhythmbox is free software, designed to work well under the GNOME Desktop using the GStreamer media framework. However, Rhythmbox functions on desktop environments other than GNOME.


Rhythmbox 3.4  Changelog :
  • New web remote control plugin
  • Grilo plugin now uses Grilo 0.3
  • Soundcloud plugin fetches more search results and allows pausing
  • No longer uses webkit (partly due to OpenBSD W^X enforcement)
  • Slightly better handling of keyboard shortcuts for playback
  • Core and some plugin data files compiled into binaries using GResources
Fixed : 
  • Entering then leaving Party Mode breaks the app menu; Party Mode status incorrectly reported
  • TerraParser (lyric's plugin) is not fetching lyrics correctly
  • grilo: Port to 0.3.0
  • [regression] Cover art shown superposed over the song titles and artist names when cover art is disabled
  • Referenced website replaygain.org is not about ReplayGain
  • Use correct pkg-config binary
  • daap: Fix warnings when configuring music sharing
  • "To translators: the context is" doesn't continue the sentence
  • Cannot change MP4 encoder settings
  • Memory leak
Installation instructions:

Open terminal and insert command line...
