I notice that when I try to install rhythmbox in xubuntu 12.04, it seems to depend on gnome desktop and nautilus, neither of which I want.

sudo apt-get install rhythmbox

You dont have to install all the recommended packages - it is these extra packages that have a gnome & nautilus dependency.

The following simulates an install on xubuntu 12.04 N.B. -s is the simulate parameter.

sudo apt-get -s --no-install-recommends install rhythmbox

The following extra packages will be installed:

  gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-0.10 gir1.2-gstreamer-0.10 gir1.2-rb-3.0 libdiscid0 libgmime-2.6-0 libmusicbrainz3-6 libneon27-gnutls libpeas-1.0-0 libpeas-common

  libquvi-scripts libquvi7 librhythmbox-core5 libtotem-plparser17 media-player-info rhythmbox-data

Suggested packages:

  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gnome-control-center

Recommended packages:

  rhythmbox-mozilla rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder rhythmbox-plugin-zeitgeist rhythmbox-plugins

The following NEW packages will be installed

  gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-0.10 gir1.2-gstreamer-0.10 gir1.2-rb-3.0 libdiscid0 libgmime-2.6-0 libmusicbrainz3-6 libneon27-gnutls libpeas-1.0-0 libpeas-common

  libquvi-scripts libquvi7 librhythmbox-core5 libtotem-plparser17 media-player-info rhythmbox rhythmbox-data

As you can see above, removing the recommended packages using --no-install-recommends as a parameter removes the gnome & nautilus packages.

Thus - install rhythmbox and its plugins minus gnome & nautilus:

sudo apt-get --no-install-recommends install rhythmbox rhythmbox-plugins
