Ok, to make this down and dirty I been rocking MM for many moons, and loved a lot of their products. that being said I move around a lot and my programs are on portable drives. Here's the problem, as everybody may know moving a portable drive from one computer to the next can be at times tricky if your always saving it to a specific drive letter. my MM programs and saved files are always on "K" letter. Now normally if it pops up with another letter i'll just reassign it with the letter I always use, easy fix right???, yeah.....not a problem in the practical world I say. The first time I had a conflict was I was doing a show and the setup they had at the time, i plugged up to the first available USB port I saw. What I didn't know what that this machine was already usb maxed out on ports and the port letter i needed was already assigned and being used for the show. I was like WTF, because think about it, "K" is pretty far down in the alphabet chain, so i didn't expect any device being assigned to that letter. So meaning MM when trying to load a saved file say HAY.......i can't find it in K:\blah blah blah... because technically it's not in that location nomore. problem was I didn't have time to manually search my HD and point every file to the right directory. What saved my azz, was I had all my songs on my phone, but not mixed, so i worked around it and the show still came out great.
So major question. When your trying to open a saved fail, it will look in the last place it was saved, which I notice, regardless of how many times you move the program around a portable HD or computer. if you delete the program then reinstall it on another drive, then try to open a MM file that was previously saved on a different drive letter, it's going to always give you that error "cant find c:\blah blah" and would like you to manually click on every single file you find that it couldn't to start your project. Is there a way for the music maker program to just search the whole drive for the files? and if not, why not? people up grade, and move around. I have files that are back from the frist MM and at the time i creates hundreds back then. they are now not on the same drive letters as before because i have upgraded HD and moved HD to other slots etc etc. i'm saying there should be a ultimate search option. Is there a way around this issue to date????????????????????
