yes i know. The option can be set from the computer node as instructed
Well, it's up to you then.
Stick around and contribute with useful input that might help to make MusicBee even better, or find your satisfaction and try to reach your goals elsewhere.
The snowflakes here won't melt either way.
We'll see. The long term support of this project is a big black hole contingent on one person. I'd love for him to maintain control but there's nothing stopping this project from disappearing forever overnight.
How horrid, that there might be the possibility of one less thing in the world meant to serve (for free) you!
In any case, as I said, all this snark is unproductive. It seems MusicBee gets you ninety percent of what you nEeD... so, instead of being a drain on the community, be a contributor and write plug-ins (for which an API is available) for the hyper-specific demands that apply only to your environment and workflow.
Alternatively, you could pay all of Steven's bills and living expenses. Then maybe we'd be more considerate of you telling him what he was to do with his projects.

I am sure.
You won't.
It's irksome to other board members see such tone
More advice: this question raises the hair of long-time members. It encroaches upon Steven's personal boundaries, which are not appropriate for you, others, nor I to decide or convince him otherwise. It will be commercial when he desires and it won't be while he doesn't. Until then, if you are dissatisfied, the answer from him will be to make your own program that does exactly what you need it to.
I'm still evaluating it to see if I can make the jump. I don't mind giving donations for good work, which clearly this is. The long term support of a closed source project is worrisome, although I can understand why. I wouldn't want to open source something only for it to be used by some other commercial vendor just changing the splash page. I believe there are open source licenses that prevent commercial use. I offered to be one of hopefully many secret holders of source code bound by Non-Disclosure Agreement not to release it unless the author fails to put up a canary (signal) saying otherwise [same idea used by websites getting national security letters].I have no plans to change how MusicBee is made available or supported
I think removable drives won't show up in the computer section. They should show up as devices, though, which will still let you access the files on them.
I agree with everything that Zak has stated. I (we) do not what to go back and forth between various threads because you're referencing one in the other. Keep each thread to one topic. Don't tell us "in reference to R2D2" because that makes us jump around. And Zak, and I, and I'm sure many others, aren't going to do that.File Converter generally only lets me select presets like Standard Quality or Maximum Quality. Besides not easily knowing what these mean, we need to be able to select every encoding parameter manually if needed, such as bitrate, stereo/joint stereo, VBR/ABR/CBR, encoder quality setting, etc. Each file format should have a tailored custom setting page. You should be able to save your own presets.Just using this one post as an example, you can easily tell what each preset does by looking at the command line in Preferences > File Converters and then using your favorite search engine to learn or change the parameter to suit your needs. And "we" don't need to be able to select every parameter. "you" do. And you can save your own presets.
As Zak said, spend some time with the Wiki and browsing through the forum. Experiment. Try things out. Learn the program. MusicBee is not MediaMonkey. And we don't want it to be. We don't need, nor want, every feature MM has. If we did, we'd be using it.
