Media Centre music file locations ?????

[Andy100]

I have WinXP Media Centre Edition, which is great !. But it says i need all
my music files in 'My music' folder. However, i have all my music on a
separated hard drive D. I can access this from my main hard drive (which has
MCE on it), i don't want to have to copy all these into the 'My Music'
folder.

Is there a way to get Media Centre to read the mp3s from my other HD ?.


Cheers
Andy

Hi Andy100,

In Windows XP, there's a way to change the location of the My Music
Folder, through tweakUI > My Computer > Special Folders.

It might work in Media Centre Edition.

Hope this helps

Thanks Will, i hadn't even realised that group existed. I did put in media
centre into the ng heading but it came up with 'no results'.
