Hi Steven,
Thanks for reply! And many thanks for making MusicBee.
I'm on an iMac, running Snow Leopard on the OSX side and up-to-date Vista on Windows side. I have latest MusicBee.
I have screen-grabbed a jpg showing one such file path on an HFS drive, but I don't see option here to add attachment. Am I missing that? Maybe it's right in front of me and I don't see it. Here's the path to folder, if that'll do:
F:\iMight\McCoy Tyner\The Real McCoy
which contains five FLAC files, one JPG, and one text document. Naming of each is limited to letters, spaces, numerals, and dashes, such as:
03 - Four By Five.flac
The above path comes from right-clicking a song to get Properties and copying Location. In Windows Explorer, path is preceded by drive name ("Muzq") so it looks like this:
Computer > Muzq (F:) > iMight > McCoy Tyner > The Real McCoy
(where the ">" are actually black triangles in the GUI)
One difference I noticed, HFS vs NTFS, within Properties, is the listing of drive name under Target and Type showing as Mounted Volume rather than Folder. For this folder on HFS drive, here are the Properties details:
The Real McCoy
Type: Mounted Volume
Location: F:\iMight\McCoy Tyner
Target: Muziq
An album folder on an NTFS drive shows no "Target" and lists type as Folder (and also shows size and content information). Here are Properties for an Eric Dolphy album on an NTFS drive:
The Illinois Concert
Type: Folder
Location: H:\iMite\Eric Dolphy
Size: 290 MB (304,434,021 bytes)
Size on disk: 290 MB (304,459,776 bytes)
Contains: 10 Files, 0 Folders
If I get Properties on a file rather than a directory, results look the same regardless of drive format, ie:
Location: F:\iMight\McCoy Tyner\The Real McCoy
or
Location: H:\iMite\Eric Dolphy\The Illinois Concert
Also - this may be totally normal but thought I'd mention it - the paths to the NTFS volumes/folders/files that I can access with MusicBee (whether on external drives or internal Windows system drive, and even for the files I can open one at a time from HFS drives) when viewed within MusicBee are populated with what appear to be Yen symbols where I might expect I dunno a backslash or something. For instance, the user "Music" folder path under MusicBee's "monitored folders" looks like this:
C:¥Users¥username¥Music¥
Except the yen symbol isn't pasting correctly here; it should have two lines through it to match how it appears in MusicBee.
(By the way, I have also installed MusicBee on a Macbook Pro running Windows 8.1 Enterprise free 90 day evaluation with Mavericks up-to-date on OSX side and issues are the same)
