Bug Description

Binary package hint: rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store

After downloading a purchased album (SLOWLY.. but thats another bug!) from the Music store there should be a link within the Ubuntu One folder so I can see the files.

The files are downloaded to /home/<username>/.local/share/ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/ but there is no simple link anywhere to get to them.
I expected the download to automatically go into my Rhythmbox music folder, but it doesn't.
My next logical step was to look in the Ubuntu One folder in my user root, but nothing is there either.

I would image for most users this will become frustrating rather quickly.

At the very least, can you add a symlink in the Ubuntu One folder which points to the "Purchased from..." folder ?

This makes no sense to me actually... I just made my first puchase from U1 Music Store today.

The way I understood U1 storage to work is that I see a Place for Ubuntu One in Nautilus, which is a local dir synced with the cloud. No music shows up there.
The tracks show in RBox and I can see that it is getting them from .local/share/ubuntuone
The tracks show in the U1 web console but there is no corresponding folder inside the Ubuntu One place link in Nautilus.

Bizarre behaviour, honestly. Baffling.
