Bug Description

I have a playlist set up to play songs from path "/music/rip" (where I've ripped my CDs), mixed with songs I've rated 4 or 5 stars. I like the fact that Banshee can reoriganize my music collection folder structure, so I have that feature turned on. Thus as soon as Banshee starts playing a song that hasn't been rated but is in the given path, and then moves the file, it disappears from the playlist view (because the path has changed), meaning that I'm unable to rate it.

I can workaround this by adding an "or played in last 10 mins", but it's a UX issue that should be fixed. Perhaps something as simple as "the currently playing song should never be excluded from the playlist view" works, but there might be side effects with that.
