Hi,

I sync MB to my Lumia 550 via USB. The problem is that every time I plug the phone in and want to sync it, a new device gets added to MB instead of reusing the previously synced device. I checked the MusicBee3Settings.ini and found that while the devices have the same serial number, the device instance path is minimally different:

First device:
Code
<DeviceId>\\?\usb#vid_045e&amp;pid_0a00&amp;mi_00#7&amp;220672fa&amp;4&amp;0000#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}</DeviceId>

Another device:

Code
<DeviceId>\\?\usb#vid_045e&amp;pid_0a00&amp;mi_00#7&amp;220672fa&amp;5&amp;0000#{6ac27878-a6fa-4155-ba85-f98f491d4f33}</DeviceId>

The difference is the 4/5 about in the center of the string. I always use the same USB cable plugged into the same USB port. Maybe it would be possible to identify devices only by their serial number, and not by the device instance path?
