I don't know the mechanism by which the work is done, but (if memory serves) iTunes has (or had) a function to Locate missing files.

(IMO) The way to solve this is as per this ancient bug here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538549 Even if there's no agreement with other FOSS music players about a shared standard (which would be a shame, for the record), it's so disappointing that this has lain dormant for 5 years, despite being a thorn in people's sides over and over again... ** 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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394095 Title: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/394095/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 394095] Re: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox
Just checked in 12.10 with Rhythmbox 2.97. This bug is still present in that Rhythmbox still does not handle a directory name change correctly. The tracks are moved into Missing Files when a directory is renamed using Nautilus, with Rhythmbox open. However, the metadata can be recovered by renaming the directories back to their original names. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394095 Title: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/394095/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 394095] Re: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox
Does anyone have any idea how this should be handled? All the music players I've ever used, including Rhythmbox, Banshee, iTunes, Windows Media Player and Zune, fall down when you rename file paths outside of them. Is there an elegant way we can have Rhythmbox pick up the new location en masse, thus preventing the user from having to reimport each track individually? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394095 Title: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/394095/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 394095] Re: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox
Rhythmbox already watches for new music files. Perhaps it should watch for removed files too, so the moment it detects the simultaneous removal and adding of a track with the same filename, it should interpret that as a directory change and just update the directory path in the database, leaving all metadata intact. Either that, or perhaps have a new Directory View in which you can move tracks around and rename directories within Rhythmbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394095 Title: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/rhythmbox/+bug/394095/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 394095] Re: doesn't deal correctly with renames outside of rhythmbox
Sebastian, I'm not sure if that's a helpful rename. In my opinion deal correctly doesn't mean much as causes loss of metadata. The outside (of) rhythmbox is important, though, but since there's no way to rename a directory _inside_ rhythmbox I also think it's confusing the issue.
