Public bug reported:

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.

rhythmbox should rather remember relative file path and volume id instead of 
absolute path
