Solution could also be as per https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538549 similar to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/394095 which would additionally solve this one: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/502474 as well as any (I didn't search for them) relating to migrating libraries in/out of RB to other (especially other FOSS) players.
It would be truly lovely if this could be bumped up in importance - I know that's an odd request, but a simple solution which writes playcount & rating to the file would solve numerous bugs affecting many people in one fell swoop. Hence [multiple bugs * low importance] = [single challenge * medium/high importance] ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #538549 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538549 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/245924 Title: Rhythmbox tracks stats on paths, not songs Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: rhythmbox Rhythmbox tracks stats on paths, not songs. If I insert a CD and play a song that I have a FLAC of, and it can identify them based on Musicbrainz checks or noticing the CD is in my library, it should treat plays of that track of the CD as plays of that file, and mark the play count and rating appropriately. Play count and rating should also follow a file if it moves, perhaps by SHA1 sum and musicbrainz data. I am not sure the implications of this re tagging, or inserting a CD and doing a musicbrainz check... everything in here requires some kind of fast lookup cache of such data, probably on an on-disk hash table (i.e. indexed database like sqlite).
