.mood files from other music player make Rhythmbox crash when they are in the folder.

When there are .mood files left over from Amarok or Clementine sometimes Rhythmbox will crash. I have to find what file Rhythmbox was trying to play and go to that folder and delete the (corrupted .mood file).
In the --debug logs the mood file is being read as a pixbuf file. I'm guessing that this means the file has somehow been corrupted. My file manager also shows the file in question as being an image file. I think mood files are supposed to be simple text files.
My real question is why does Rhythmbox just not ignore files which are not audio files rather than crashing?
I'm using Rhythmbox 2.96
and I'm happy to post a debug log next time it happens if you like.
