Its either/or. You must be sure that all filenames follow the same convention, either "X:\music\…" or "\\computer\x\music\…". Unfortunately, due to the extra overhead incurred when using UNC paths, some software tries to "resolve" these into mapped drive paths. Maybe this is why you still see some "X:\music\…" entries. If working on a machine that has this drive -mapped- (instead of a locally attached drive), you might want to consider -unmapping- it and using the same UNC path as for the other machines. SC and other software have to have a means for uniquely identifying a file — SC (and MusicIP, btw) use the file path for this, so they will always see "X:\music\filename.ext" as being different to "\\mycomputer\x\music\filename.ext". -- Moonbase Moonbase: 'The Problem Solver' (http://www.kaufen-ist-toll.de/moonbase) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Moonbase's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21594 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60755 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
