I just wanted to update this to include Windows 7. The path to the .ini file is the same as in Vista: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey Now with a comment, or perhaps if you edit the source, it will show up in Google searches for that. :) Howdy!

If all PC's use the same mapped drive letter mapped to the same path, wouldn't it still work just as well? What is the advantage of using UNC versus mapped drives?

Searching and filters are a good example. What I would love to see is a SQL controlled music instead of a "MS Access" way of sharing it.

I really hated having to restart my computer to sync my ipod if I wasn't in the right OS and I was manually copying my database in order to stay in sync. I found a way to convert your database to the UNC method without needing any extra software. Mediamonkey has a 'location' node, and if you notice, you can use it to manually move folders around without changing the filenames or folder structures. Anyway, just add a file into mediamonkey's library using the UNC name, and then it'll be able to be selected in the location node. then just drag your main music folder into a different folder within the UNC named version of your drive and that's it. it'll take a little while but everything stays in tact. now I can sync between 2 versions of windows on the same pc, and also 2 other computers on my network. sweet.

I am using your information to have my XP and Vista partitions use the same library so I don't have to worry about keeping them both updated (Audio Leveling and such). This is a very excellent post.
