Bug Description

in previous versions of Rhythmbox, one could use gconf-editor, navigate to /apps/rhythmbox, click on "library_locations", and insert multiple directories. Rhythmbox 2.90.1 has moved away from gconf to gsettings, and now there is no obvious ways to set multiple locations for the library. using dconf-editor, i have looked though how to set multiple locations, but cannot find any way to do it. a helpful link to the problem i'm having can be seen in this thread too: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=990950

This bug affects me also. Had to manually edit in commandline with gsettings to remove some locations that were causing trouble (really slow wireless network locations for example).

It really bugs me that you cannot see what locations you have added and remove them via the rhythmbox UI. It is really lousy design in my opinion. Can anyone explain to me the decision NOT to include this in the UI?
