Bug Description
Currently the File Manager uses Content Hub to send audio files being "opened" to the Music app. However, the files are actually imported when sent via Content Hub. This causes duplicate entries of the files if they are "opened" from the user's Music directory. The imported files will get stored to the user's $HOME/Music/
It'd be better if the File Manager used the "file:///" URI handler when prompting the user to "Open with" the Music app. Any use of Content Hub to send files to the Music app should be made clear that the action will import the song rather then just open the current location.

This same behavior also occurs for Videos and Picture, all of which import as duplicate content in the Gallery app.
