Bug Description
If there is music in a directory other than ~/Music, and that directory is then mounted with
"mount --bind" to ~/Music/
It would be important that music app had the priviliges to read these directories too, mainly because the music from the android userdata could also be mounted under ~/Music for the music app. This would be a nice step towards the using Ubuntu Touch dual-boot-installed nexto to android.
Same goes for Video scopes and Gallery app.
EDIT: Symbolic links do not work either.

Hi, thanks for filing this bug. We need more information in order to determine where the problem exists. Could you report which version of the phone you are using, Trusty or Utopic and which version? Additionally, could you see if the music is listed once the device is restarted and the mediascanner has possibly rescanned the new media?
Also, one thing that would be great to include, if you would be able to do so, would be to login to the phone as a phablet user and see if running "mediascanner- service ~/Music" reports any errors related to the new media files in that directory?
