Yes, I tried this but only want to do this if there's no other way.

I looked at the sqlite db now and found something interesting:

Songs that play seem to have a relative uri like this:
The Fray/Acoustic in Nashville, Bootleg No. 2/1 Look After You.mp3

Songs that do not play have an absolute uri like this:
file:///media/DATA/Daten/Musik/The%20Fray/Acoustic%20in%20Nashville,%
20Bootleg%20No.%202/4%20How%20To%20Save%20A%20Life.mp3

So I think if the path is relative Banshee takes the current library
folder and append the relative uri to it. If there is an abslute uri is
looks for the song at the old position which, of course, doesn't work.

However I'm absolutely sure that I have imported these two songs at the
same time. So I can't imaging why Banshee saves one with a relative and
the other with an absolute uri.

Yes, I did.
