Music is imported to Banshee, but remains in .ubuntuone, requiring 2X space on HD

Binary package hint: banshee-community-extensions

I am just now trying out the U1 service through Banshee, and it's pretty good so far.

I noticed however that after a song is purchased, it is downloaded to .ubuntuone, and is imported into Banshee.

This creates to copies of the file - one in your music directory, and one in .ubuntuone. This shouldn't be the case. Ideally, music should be imported, but the step of placing it in .ubuntuone seems optional to me at least, since I have WAY too much music for it to all be synced to the cloud, and don't really want that feature.

This also causes banshee to take about 5 minutes to startup each time. Running banshee --debug, I get this message for every song I've purchased from the Ubuntu One Music Store which totals about 60 songs:

[1 Debug 22:23:00.317] U1MS: Track downloaded: - /home/USERNAME/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/Deep Red/DarkwaterS/Blind Rage.mp3
[1 Debug 22:23:00.323] Not copying file:///home/USERNAME/.ubuntuone/Purchased%20from%20Ubuntu%20One/Deep%20Red/DarkwaterS/Blind%20Rage.mp3 to library because there is already a file of same size at file:///home/USERNAME/Music/Deep%20Red/DarkwaterS/04.%20Blind%20Rage.mp3

If I remove the purchased music from the /home/music folder, the subsequent startup redownloads and imports the music into banshee creating the same long startup on the next banshee startup.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Reassigning to Banshee, since the ubuntuonemusicstore extension is from the main Banshee package.

Do you still see this bug?
