Rhythmbox shows "identical" music files once for every format they are stored in

[Mario Vukelic]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I use Intrepid, rhythmbox 0.11.6svn20081008-0ubuntu4

I rip CDs from my collection into /media/HD300/Culture/Music/flac/<artist>/<album>/<CD# (optional)>/*.flac, then convert the flac files to /media/HD300/Culture/Music/mp3/<artist>/<album>/<CD# (optional)>/*.mp3.

Rhythmbox shows all these files twice, see attached screenshot. This breaks usable ability to play albums and is ugly. Actually I had thought this would work due to the setting in Preferences -> tab Music -> "Preferred format: *.flac". It sounded to me as if this would prefer the flac over the mp3 if I have both. Since noticing that this doesn't work, I wonder what the setting might be for and can't think of anything :) The included minimal docs don't say, and I found nothing via Google, either.

Funnily enough, I can't find much on Google about the duplicate entries, except one guy having the same problem, but receiving no useful answer. I imagine that this should be a common problem, so maybe I am doing something wrong?
