Because not all media files in all directories are music and video supposed to be exposed to the user. I'm surprised this needs explanation. Have we already forgotten the joys of the 2000 ogg files in Media Player from Nokia's very own Map application happily added by metalayer-crawler ? Even today I can't use Media Player and Canola properly as they play 'random' as a various mix of music and application sounds. If the solution is not to have music and application data on the same card, that's hardly not a bug.

EDIT:
What does Tracker's configuration have to do with MAFW?
The same metalayer-crawler magic had to do with media player. And since MAFW will be omnipresent and a base for a much broader audience, it will be able to make or break basically all your media apps. With the 2000 aforementioned oggs, it would mean they wouldn't just appear in Media Player, but ALL your multimedia applications. Oops.
