PS I feel reassured when I see the 'Rescan collection now' button in
Banshee, but if there is some other way to keep the library up to date
reliably it would be good.

Title:
  Doesn't add new tracks to music library (music stored on external USB
  hard drive)

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This has been happening for a long time - I think more than a year.

  My music collection is on a USB external hard drive. Every time I use
  Rhythmbox, I always update some information in the ID3 tags of my
  music collection. I also add new music once in a while, or I use
  MusicBrainz Picard to correct the tags for one or more albums at a
  time.

  The problem is that when I add new music to the nominated storage
  location, the music does not appear in the library within Rhythmbox.

  I have left the application for up to 12 hours (or more) and the
  tracks have still not appeared.

  Yesterday I managed to trick the application into showing the tags by
  moving albums from the existing music library to another location with
  the new albums, and then moving the whole lot back, and then moving
  the new albums to the correct artist. Unfortunately, although they
  appear in the library, they are of course in the wrong location and
  are seen by Rhythmbox as 'missing files'.

  1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or
  System -> About Ubuntu

  11.10

  2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy
  pkgname' or by checking in Software Center

  2.90.1

  3) What you expected to happen

  New or retagged music to appear in music library

  4) What happened instead

  It does not appear
