Hi,

This is already possible, but the setting to change is hidden. If you
run "gconf-editor", and navigate to the path "/apps/rhythmbox" in the
left pane, you should see the options "library_layout_path" and
"library_layout_filename" on the right. These contain placeholders, and
you can change them however you like!

The format placeholders which you can use are described in "man
rhythmbox-client" in the "FORMAT OPTIONS" section.

Hope that helps.
