Comment 7 for bug 646511

Mark - right they didn't :-) The problem is twofold:

 * The current Files Place UI is especially designed for browsing your history - not for discovering new files (with the exception of the Favorite Folders and Downloads groups on the front page).

 * Crawling the ~/Music directory (or really g_get_user_special_dir (G_USER_DIRECTORY_MUSIC) to respect the xdg specs) is quite a dangerous thing to do without negatively impacting the system responsiveness. Of course it can be done, but is non-trvial to get right.

What we could consider for Natty:

 * Use MPRIS2 to pre-populate it using the playlist API
 * Or even simpler, just sticking a button/link in the top of the Files/Audio that launch your music player
 * Or simplest of all, putting a link for ~/Music in the Audio section.
 * Or a clever combination of all of the above
