Songs reappear after being removed from library #237

Open ualich opened 2 years ago

Expected behavior

When removing a song from the library, this should take effect permanently.

Observed behavior

A song can be successfully removed from the library (while the file still resides on disk). When scanning one of the parent folders for new songs, though, the song (previously removed) is added to the library again.

I have 2 questions

  1. How to prevent such behavior? What strategies do you use to keep only a subset of songs in the library?
  2. After removing a file from the library, how is this information stored? I assume the location is ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/gmbrc, but I do not understand it clearly.
