Bug Description
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Seems that currently rhythmbox stores song's path as absolute filesystem path.
It causes a problem if you store music on volume that needs to be mounted before use. E.g. I have separate NTFS partition, and in most cases it gets mounted as /media/disk. But if I have pendrive plugged in during bootup it gets mounted as /media/disk-1. In this case rhythmbox can find none of my songs.
The solution could be to store in the rhythmbox's database volume unique identifier plus relative path on the volume instead of full absolute path.
