Your alternatives are to explore/var/log/apt/history.logso you can undo/reverse what you've done (as I commented on your prior question), or re-installubuntu-desktopas already suggested by user535733 too on your prior question. My response was more precise, but more complicated, even experienced users would probably opt for re-install as suggested by user535733. As in that question, you should provide details as to your version & DEsktop in use.

You could trysudo dpkg-reconfigure rhythmboxwhich will reset the program package back to defaults (somewhat anyway; excluding your user settings found in $HOME). I would run it from a terminal (to see if it outputs messages that provide a clue, ie. errors when you tell it to play that will tell you what to fix; these are messages that you post on here for us to help you with). If there are no clues, you could thenpurgeit then install again, if you have problems even after this it's likely issues with your user.config so I'd suggest removing it & allowing them to be re-created.
