After migrating to ubuntu 10.04, (/home, entirely saved), I decided to use the standard Gnome Directory name.
I moved my files to "Music" from "music".
And restarted GMB ...Quentin I am sure you know what happened ! My layouts all scrambled !  ???
I would like to keep the "Music" directory name and recovered my previous layouts.  :P
Any suggestions ?

I don't know what you mean by "My layouts all scrambled", but ...

To move the location of your library, currently the best way is to run this command :
perl -pi -e "s#/home/LOGIN/music/#/home/LOGIN/Music/#g" ~/.config/gmusicbrowser/tags
replace the 2 "LOGIN" by your login, and replace "tags" by "gmbrc" for v1.1.x

A good way to avoid this problem in the future is using a symbolic link, so ~/Music/ always point to the real folder. You could in your case make ~/music/ point to ~/Music/
(When using symbolic links, make sure you always add the music from the same folder, else you'll have duplicates songs)

You can also remove all the songs from the library and then rescan, but currently the album/artist pictures will have to be re-selected manually :(

I plan to make changes that will make this easier, but it can be a while.
