Description Bharadwaj Raju 2016-05-14 16:49:16 UTC 
Currently, gnome-music does not allow specifying a music file in the command line parameters like:

    gnome-music ~/Music/SomeMusic.ogg

Adding such an option should also help it in becoming the default Music app 
(as opposed to Rythmbox) since this would add the ability to right-click and play sound/music files from a file manager.
Comment 1 Marinus Schraal 2016-05-15 17:35:15 UTC 
The gnome-music model is not really like that, it only plays stuff from ~/Music. A file manager could be pointing anywhere. It would be confusing.
Comment 2 Marinus Schraal 2016-05-19 17:23:16 UTC 
But maybe it should offer to import it or something, this should really be discussed with some of the designers of the gnome applications suite.
