Title:
Music library and radio station data should be stored separately
Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application:
Invalid
Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Currently, the file "/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml" stores
information for both the music library and any user-added radio
stations. These should be separated into two (2) separate files for
the following reasons:
1) Users may wish to drop all of their music data and rescan their libraries.
As there is no means by which to do this from the UI (unlike Banshee), users
must delete this file. However, this action forces them to delete radio
station data as well, when they probably would not wish to do so.
2) Users may wish to back up their radio station data as it is personal
configuration information. This is quite different from music library data
which can be regenerated automatically; it generally does not need to be backed
up.
The point here is that these two data sets are essentially different
types of data. As such, they should not be stored in the same file.
One is dynamically generated; the other is not.
