Distribution: Debian testing/unstable
Package: rhythmbox
Severity: enhancement
Version:  unspecified
Synopsis: Duplicate song in database because symlinks
Bugzilla-Product: rhythmbox
Bugzilla-Component: General
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Description:
Please describe your feature request:

I noticed many times that some songs are duplicated in my song list.
This is probably because I use some symlinks (to make soem dirs appear
in differents places) in the directory where I store my music.

I think a quite simple solution would be to make file names canonical
before putting them in the database, through the use of something like
realpath (1).
