The new dialog was introduced to represent the SC's point of view, as this is 
not the same as the user's pov: if run SC on a NAS, it would probably see 
something like /media/drive1/music, where you as a user would see \\nas\music, 
or Z:\.

If this dialog shows mapped drives, then you're running SC on a Windows box in 
application mode. A service doesn't see your mapped drives unless you configure 
it manually to do so.

BTW: can you browse the network share, if you enter the UNC path (or at least 
the //server/share part of it) before opening the dialog?

Make sure your music path is the same as the one used in the playlists. If your 
playlists use the UNC, but your music path uses a mapped drive (or vice versa), 
then these are distinct files for SC.

Whatever you chose: just make sure you always use the same.

Very wierd indeed. You mean the drives show up, but they don't display any 
content? One more reason _not_ to use mapped drives.
