How do I create a database/song repository that is device neutral?
I want to be able to copy my music/MM database to any drive but
everything I try has the drive letter/[Drive Name] in the file path.
Device neutral database?

Re: Device neutral database?
It stores the drive device ID in the song so this really isn't possible for the music
Where's the db and ini stored

A Portable Install of MediaMonkey should do the trick.

Lowlander ... will that also address the music?

Re: Device neutral database?
Maybe not. It would work best with single drive moving around PCs.
However this can fix the database after moving database and files: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=63823&hilit=update+ ... n+database

Hi, portable works fine for me,
it sounds like issue: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view ... 423#c31441 that has been already fixed 6 years ago.
I've done some test (for sure).
1) Installed MM as portable to external HDD (drive I:\ on PC1) and scanned music files from I:\ on PC1 (the music was already pre-copied on the I:\)
2) Connected the HDD to PC2 (recognized as E:\), run MM from the portable folder and trying to play files
=> all files are playable
So I cannot replicate your issue, have you tested the same way?
