Hello everyone! Every time I convert a song or sync to my phone whilst converting on-the-fly, Musicbee temporarily stores it on Windows' Temp folder. This is fine and good but since I use a cheap SSD, I'm worried that this might kill it earlier than I expect it to. So is there a way that I can map the Temp folder to my extra hard drive so that I won't wear out my SSD quickly? Thanks!

Thank you very much! It works! It didn't work properly the first time I pasted it on MusicBee3Settings.ini at first but I only had to replace the existing one at Line 9.

I'm not sure this is a very useful thing to do.

Mechanical harddisks break down too.
Much more often then solid state disks in my experience.

Unless you are using your ssd drive writing enormous amounts of data every single day, there is not really a reason to worry about it's life span.

The performance hit that using a mechanical drive for temp files certainly will result in would bother me a lot more personally.
