There is one particular use case that could be affected greatly by what you
just proposed, i.e. to have the entire music library stored in an external
storage device. If I accidentally pressed play without the external device
mounted, *woosh* there goes my entire music library, ratings, play counts, skip
counts, scores and all since Banshee can't find the files any more.

Banshee can't read your intention, and so it doesn't know why the files are
missing -- they could have been intentionally moved away, like in your case, or
like the use case I just highlighted, the volume might not have been mounted.
Perhaps, someday when computers learn to read minds, Banshee can make use of
that to figure this out ;-) Until then, this bug will probably stay as is.
