** Description changed: Tested on: Ubuntu 11.04 (amd64) rhythmbox 0.13.3-0ubuntu6 Ubuntu 11.10 (amd64) rhythmbox 2.90.1~20110908-0ubuntu1 *** - (It can be not a real bug, but just a feature with a little "noisy" + (It can be not a serious bug, but just a feature with a little "noisy" behaviour). Rhythmbox automatically rescans the library on startup, which makes a lot of small filesystem operations and takes some time if there are many - files moved or deleted from the locations which they where imported to - library from. + files have been moved or deleted from the locations which they where + imported to library from. Anyway, with rescan functionality, Rhythmbox is better than Banshee which ignores any library changes like missing items. I think, the optimal solution is to to turn off the automatic rescan by default and make a "Rescan library" button. The rest of rescan process should remain the same (after library rescanning, the missing items should be moved to "Missing Files" section, where unneeded songs can be manually removed; on the next rescan, songs from "Missing Files" that have become available, should be moved back to the library, the others should remain in "Missing items").
