mountRB : Disk mounter for Rhythmbox

A very much needed feature that is missing in Rhythmbox the default music player in Ubuntu , mounting the drives that are part of the music library in Rhythmbox.

Having a huge music library and spread out in multiple drives it was quite irritating to mount the drives again and again at every startup whenever rhythms had to be outboxed :) . So I wrote a python script to parse through the rhythmbox library and mount the drives mapping the labels to the respective drives and a bash script to call this python script and also startup rhythmbox. A shortcut to launch the bash script added to the gnome panel made music a one click stop .



MAKE SURE TO HAVE LABELS ON EVERY DRIVE !!!

njoy !!!

PS: my first attempt
