Assuming that you're using Rhythmbox 2.9x (the Gtk+-3 version)...
Your music library database is stored in the directory
  ~/.local/share/rhythmbox

Most of the configuration is actually stored in dconf. You can export
the configuration on one box with the command:
  dconf dump /org/gnome/rhythmbox/ > /path/to/rhythmbox-settings-backup
then import it on the other with
  dconf load /org/gnome/rhythmbox/ < /path/to/rhythmbox-settings-backup
