Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] question: i moved my music library folder but them all my points or stars for my songs disappeared.

Are we talking about an iTunes-like music management system that
rearranges tracks based on tags?  Or just something to move the whole
library somewhere?  If it's just to move the library, having  a whole
plugin for it seems excessive, since people will probably use it once at
most.
