No doubt the effect is achievable with a bit of trickery, but
should trickery be required? Does the idea of multiple libraries
make sense? I propose that it does. In real life there is: My
personal library. The Public Library branch down the street.
The library I inherited when my great aunt passed away. These
seem like libraries which one might like to keep separate.
Why should Rhythmbox not allow the concept of multiple libraries?

PS: I had some friends over tonight and I think Rhythmbox created
some F/OSS convertss. You folks rule! I still miss the jukebox
mode though.
