Title:
  library rescan functionality should be extended with missing items
  scan

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Unknown
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 11.04 (amd64)
  banshee 2.0.0-2ubuntu2

  Ubuntu 11.10 (amd64)
  banshee 2.2.0-1ubuntu2

  If a song is deleted from disk, this has no effect on the library:
  Banshee will stay silent and simply not play that song listed in
  library, so I need to manually find and remove non-existing items from
  the library and re-import the music after some changes in my music
  collection.

  When I choose 'Rescan library' option from the menu, it has no effects
  on the missing items, they still stay in the library.

  Reaction on the missing items in the library should be neither
  silently absent as in Banshee, nor so aggressive as in Rhythmbox which
  automatically rescans the library for missing items on start-up.

  I think, the optimal solution is to not enable the "missing items scan
  on startup" by default, but to make a "Rescan library" button; after
  library rescanning, the missing items should be moved to "Missing
  items" section, where unneeded songs can be manually removed; on the
  next rescan, songs from "Missing items" that have become available,
  should be moved back to the library, the others should remain in
  "Missing items".
