Note: this is a comma separated list with full path names starting with file:///
and must be defined with the ['
... ]'
Alternatively you can using gsettings
from the terminal.
Get the current value of the locations field via:
gsettings get org.gnome.rhythmbox.rhythmdb locations
You should get an output similar to:
['file:///home/dad/Music', 'file:///home/dad/.ubuntuone/Purchased%20from%20Ubuntu%20One']
To set a new value of the field use the set
syntax:
gsettings set org.gnome.rhythmbox.rhythmdb locations "['file:///home/dad/Music', 'file:///media/musiclibrary/mymusic']"
