Hmmm.. I'm having lots of trouble with UNC paths versus mapped drives in SC7 and I guess that this is probably related... except my probelm seems to be the reverse of yours.
As I did a clean install of 7 very recently my version of SC7 does not run as a service anymore, but runs as an application instead (this on XP). The change from running the software as a service (as 6.5 does and SC7 did previously) to running it as an application is due to problems with running SC7 as a service on Vista (according to Michael Herger). If you look at Windows Services and see only the SqueezeMySQL service them your SC7 is running as an application. If you also see the SqueezeCenter (or it might still be called SlimServer) service running it's errr... runnning as a service. My problem is that although all the paths entered into my shortcuts, playlists and SC7's settings for Playlists folder and Music folder are in UNC format SC7 insists on translating the paths in my playlists (and my playlists only) into paths using mapped drive letters. The result is that SC7 lists any music that appears in playlists twice, once with a UNC path and once with a mapped drive path. I'd much rather SC7 (when working either as an app or as a service) used the shorter mapped paths. However, due to the cross-platform nature of the application I think this is hard or even impossible to implement (I might be wrong). But, if my recent experience is anything to go by the UNC vs mapped drive issue will become a technical support headache so something will have to be done. My vote is for mapped drives! Michael Herger seem to be main public/forum face of SC7 development but I think he has been away this week. He may well jump in on this thread when/if he comnes back next week (if only to say I'm taking rubbish). I'd wait till then before posting a bug.
