[Launchpad Bug Tracker <1475417@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I am using the following setup, the files in the Music directory
(name.ogg) are symlinks to files in a hidden directory (also in the
Music folder). I am using this setup as I keep my music in a git-annex
repository.

The music app does not show any of the tracks.

When you select a symlink in the file browser, you can open it with the
Music app, but it gives a "Failed to move file" error. If you navigate
in to the hidden directory, and select the file, it plays correctly, and
appears in the Music app, however it may have copied it to another
directory in the Music folder.

The behavior I would like, is for the music app to be able to index the
files (dereferencing the symlinks as it goes), and also support
selecting a symlink in the file browser to be played (again,
dereferencing the file). As the content is also in the Music directory,
it does not need to be copied or moved, however this issue may go away
if the others are resolved.

Let me know if I can help in any way.
