I have my music files on a NAS, mapped to a drive in Windows 10.

Upon upgrading to 3.1, MusicBee has been unable to access the mapped drive and cannot even see it - therefore my library is unplayable.

I've even done a clean installation, losing my custom views etc but it is still not able to access the mapped drive.

Does anyone have any ideas?

can you confirm you are happy to run a debug version and let me know what the drive letter is

Hi Steven

Logged in this morning and it's returned. Very odd, but annoying as the reinstall has deleted my custom layout!

It was mapped as Y:/.

Thanks for your help.

My experience doing the same thing is that it's more stable to set the NAS as a network share as opposed to a mapped drive.

I've had the same problem with the drive disappearing (usually straightened out by a reboot), but since changing things to a NS haven't had an issue with that.

This video will hopefully help - It is usually the updates of win10 - not the MB
