Banshee shows duplicates of U1MS purchases

[Matthew Woerly]

Binary package hint: banshee

In my library, I have found some songs that are duplicated. I never had this problem with Rhythmbox.
For songs purchased through the U1MS, I see two entries. Looking at the properties, they are from these two locations:
~/.local/share/ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/Band/Album
~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One/Band/Album
It appears that the .local/share path links to the .ubuntuone path. So why is it shown as two files?
I've also noticed that when I play some songs purchased from U1MS, it starts uploading them to U1... I don't know if that's related.

I have linked this issue to libubuntuone package for now. Rodney if you have some time please could you check this?

@Nattgew: On the General tab in the Banshee preferences, what File Policies do you have checked (if any)?

[Matthew Woerly (nattgew)]

Copy files to media folders when importing
Write metadata to files
Write ratings and play counts to files

Turn at least the copy files to folders option off. It is why you are getting duplicates.

I'd recommend turning the others off as well if you don't want your music to be re-uploaded every time you listen to the songs. If banshee is writing data into the files, then they are being changed, and will be uploaded back to the server, and re-downloaded on any other computers you have which also synchronize your music.

This is a problem caused by Banshee itself.
