Rhythmbox feature in library is gone / iTunes feature available on Linux

[jus]

Tested with http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mixxxdevelopers/mixxx/release-1.9.x/revision/2675 & Ubuntu 10.10

See title.
Linux users are presented with the option to load the iTunes library instead, even if there is no iTunes for Linux.

The iTunes thing was my deal... I added a context menu to allow selecting of an iTunes database in a non-standard location, and figured this meant I could enable iTunes on all platforms (I could, for example, manage my music with itunes on Windows and then use the library on linux in mixxx). I actually tried this after you mentioned it here and it turns out itunes stores absolute paths so it's useless on other OSes, so that's disabled on linux.

I can't explain what's going on with Rhythmbox feature on your system. I reverted to that revision of 1.9 and the feature was still enabled. The only thing Rhythmbox feature depends on is the existence of at least one of:
~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/playlists.xml
~/.local/share/rhythmbox/playlists.xml
Could you verify at least one of these exists on your system?

Then the title of the bug report is misleading i guess.

I had set up a new VM and not opened Rhythmbox since. Saw the iTunes entry in the library and thought it has overridden Rhythmbox. Tested with latest r2681- solved. Thanks.

BTW
The context menu to allow selecting of an iTunes database on Win/Mac is rather useful, this way you can also manage different iTunes.db`s .

Thank goodness, I really wasn't sure what was going on otherwise :)
