How do you define "Music library"? Is it a set of all files imported to rhythmbox? But what if I use Banshee? Or, as I've been doing for the past few months, I use cvlc with files and folders typed on the commamd line? What would you consider my music library then? The whole concept of a music library seems passing strange in a world where files are everything.

Windows has libraries for stuff. It isn't very intuitive and I'm not trying to justify it, but that is probably where the sentiment comes from.

It seems so.

That is really arbitrary, not everyone follows this convention of a designated library for specific file types.

Also:

Yes, it is really so strange. Or actually, it is really so brain-dead.

I am working on a search utility at this moment.

The first thing you want to do is figure what you're doing and adjust to your user's style rather than forcing them to adjust to your application's ideas. That is one key to a "it just works" application. Anything else is more-or-less stuck in the nineties.

Yes, that is strange.

Your comment might explain the situation, if my files came up when searching in Home and Files but not Music.

But that isn't the case. They don't come up anywhere.
