musicbee does NOT see mapped local drive. how to fix it? [FIXED itself, somehow]

[Lee_Dailey]

howdy y'all,

i map a drive letter to a local drive:path for my music collection. that way i can move the collection if needed without breaking the path to the actual files. this works pretty well for itunes and foobar2000. it does NOT work for musicbee because musicbee does not see the mapped local drive. it sees my mapped network drives, but not the one that maps z:\ to d:\music.

help, please?

take care,
lee

how did you map the drive letter e.g. using the SUBST command?

[Lee_Dailey]

howdy Steven,

i used subst - this ...
subst z: f:\data\music

the really freaky thing is that the map to my NAS shows up just fine. [*grin*]

take care,
lee

howdy Steven,

now, for some unknown reason, music bee is seeing the mapped local drive. Z: is there! [*grin*]

take care,

i cant answer as to why it didnt work straight away because i use the SUBST command for testing quite often and dont have problems
