As discussed on IRC.

The problem with content-hub is not that it is slow, it is the fact that
we import that music again. So say you open a file that is already in
~/Music via content hub, you'll then have two inside ~/Music and a
duplicate in your library :/

Can we not have a whitelist of directories for both music and videos which will use url-handler instead of content-hub. The only directories in this whitelist would be (eg for music):
/home/*/Music
/media/*/*/Music

I feel this should be simple enough to implement and prevents duplicates
in your library therefore I am reopening this bug.

Title:
  Music files are imported into the Music app, rather than simply opened

Status in File Manager application for Ubuntu devices:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently the File Manager uses Content Hub to send audio files being
  "opened" to the Music app. However, the files are actually imported
  when sent via Content Hub. This causes duplicate entries of the files
  if they are "opened" from the user's Music directory. The imported
  files will get stored to the user's $HOME/Music/Imported/mm/dd/
  directory.

  It'd be better if the File Manager used the "file:///" URI handler
  when prompting the user to "Open with" the Music app.  Any use of
  Content Hub to send files to the Music app should be made clear that
  the action will import the song rather then just open the current
  location.
