Comment from the developer:

"I think calling it 'ununderstandable' is a bit of a stretch, and I
don't think documenting it will help. I'm really not sure what to do
about party mode."

This makes the problem hard to define, so I'm going to close the paper
cut task for now.

Title:
  "Party mode" ununderstandable and undocumented

Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
  Invalid
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
  New
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: rhythmbox

  The manual does not explain what "party mode" is.  The status bar help
  text is not helpful at all; when you hover the cursor over the Party
  Mode menu entry, it laconically says "Change the status of the party
  mode".  (Is that even English?)

  I was scared that it would ruin all my playlists and send my email
  address to the spammers, but I tried it anyway.  It seems to toggle a
  full-screen view.  Then why is it not called "Full Screen"?  Does it
  do something more?

  The top Google hit http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=694932
  seems inconclusive to me.  Does Party mode involve changes in how the
  play queue can be manipulated and/or how the computer can be used?

  Minimal fix:
   * Describe Party Mode in the on-line help

  Bonus points:
   * Improve the Status bar help text
