Depends on whether you want to use only the external drive to store all your music, or you want to use it in addition to another folder to store your music. If it's all to be on the external drive, then go to Settings > Basic Settings and change the Music Folder. Either type it in or browse to the root folder where you have music stored on the external. On the other hand, if you want to use more than one location for your music then you'll need to use at least one Windows shortcut. If you can find your current music folder, create a shortcut there which points to the external drive. What I recommend, though, is to use an empty Music Folder (create one somewhere) and then place shortcuts in that otherwise empty folder that point to each of the music locations. This way it's a little easier to manage and you don't lose a shortcut in some huge folder full of files and other folders. You want to avoid circular references when using these shortcuts, so losing a shortcut in your Music Folder can be a pain and cause unexplained scanning issues. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54534 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
