Description Andrew Conkling 2008-03-12 18:32:22 UTC 
As mentioned on the mailing list, Rhythmbox may be able to improve the initial visibility of tracks in the library, particularly for those on non-present and/or removeable media.

http://mail.gnome.org/archives/rhythmbox-devel/2008-March/msg00016.html:
What's happening here is that whether the entries are initially
visible is based purely on whether they were present last time, rather
than some combination of that and whether the filesystem they're on is
mounted. It probably wouldn't be hard to eliminate at least one of
these cases by making the initial visibility a bit smarter.

sorry about the duplicate, but I looked for the following strings before posting: USB, library, watch. none of these are in this bug description, so other people might end up missing like I did.
Comment 3 Josef Davies-Coates 2010-10-15 18:57:25 UTC 
If I open rhythm box without my external hard drive plugged in (where all my music is) then it looses all the songs that were there and then takes ages re-importing them again once I plug the external hard drive in again.

It also completely and utterly loses all my playlists. Luckily I mostly just use shuffle, because otherwise loosely the playlists would be really REALLY f*!king annoying, not just mildly f*!king annoying!
