Questions / Re: Establishing MusicBee Library from SD card or USB drive or other removable media

Psychoadept, thanks for the info. I got it to work late last night by going through Preferences/Devices/Settings and making sure the options in the "media storage" section that MB requires matched "exactly" with Windows (like the file name can only be "Music" not "Music Master", no matter where the drive is located). But I'm going to drop MusicBee because it is not playing nice with Windows 8.1 "Windows Explorer."
After installing the latest 3.0 and then the latest 3.1 upgrade to that, Windows Explorer started to have problems -- it wouldn't read the directories in the tree panel on the left side and display contents in the right side panel or, as it attempted to display them in the right panel, the green progress bar (showing the reading/scanning of the directory) either never got to the end or once it got to the end it never went away as if Windows was still trying to scan the directory for files. So I uninstalled MusicBee 3.1 and the problem went away -- immediately, without rebooting or changing anything else.
Psychoadept, I know from the Forum here that you are pretty knowledgeable in MusicBee, so if you think this interference with Windows Explorer is a bug the developer would need to know about, feel free to report it as such in the "Bugs section" or wherever. I'm done. Spent too much time already.
Thanks for the replies.
