Aaand now the issue just went away.  apt and dpkg not showing any updates since this report was filed.
I'm at a loss as to potential explanations. Machine was not under heavy load during the time the symptoms were investigated.

Title:
  rhythmbox freezes on start of song

Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  About 1s after starting a new song, rhythmbox uses 100% CPU (single
  core) and the UI freezes. Music continues to play fine. Thaws our
  after about one minute and interactions with GUI work fine until a new
  file is selected or starts automatically. Keyboard audio keys don't do
  anything during the freeze.

  This behaviour started out of the blue. Only suspect package that
  updated before it started is libaudiofile1, but I backdated that and
  the problem still occurred.

  Tried an strace but the machine froze. ltrace showed nothing obvious
  (to a non-linux dev like me anyway).

  Playing files with Totem did not show this issue. Neither did SMPlayer

  Ubuntu 14.04
  Rhythmbox 3.0.2
  amd64 binaries
  Tested with MP3 files only
