Description tint14 2004-04-10 23:35:35 UTC 
I'm don't know how it happened, but many songs in my "Library" are listed twice.
There are no duplicate copies of those songs on my hard disk.

The bug is that there is no way for me to view or edit a list of which folders
are included in my music library from within the GUI. My fix was to delete
~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml and manually add all of my music folders all
over again using the GUI.

Do you have any symbolic links around?

Yes. I have my ntfs partition mounted on /mnt/win2k/d, and my music is stored in
"/mnt/win2k/d/mydocs/My Music". I also have a soft link to /mnt/win2k/d/mydocs
in ~/Desktop/, so I must have added "/mnt/win2k/d/mydocs/My Music" once
explicitly, and later accidentally when I added ~. I backed up rhythmdb.xml
before I removed it, and it looks like the same files are being referenced using
both paths.
