Bug description:
Binary package hint: banshee

I'm running Banshee 1.6 Beta 2 (1.5.1) on Karmic and I've just encountered this bug for the first time today. I hit Rescan Music Library, and all of my music is gone from my library, every single one. The more annoying result of this is that all of my playlists, ratings, and play counts from years past are gone. Importing my Music folder (which is on the root level of an NTFS partition) finds nothing even though I have MP3 files at 1 to 4 levels down. Importing individual folders inside the Music folder DOES work. The logical workaround then is to put an additional level between the Music folder and the actual music files. I've done that as such:
NTFS Partition > Music > All Music > *Actual music files and folders*
And now Banshee can happily detect all of my music.
