I've searched the forum-wiki-manual, but did not find answer...

I have different configurations of Foobar2000 in different folders,
so I have set the "Location of configuration files" ( Preference > General ) to <Application Install Folder>

Is it possible to share the media library between the different setups/folder of foobar2000,
in order to mantain only one version of the Media Library?

( in addition network 2 pc and external drive, so Media Library splitted on different location ) mellow.gif

If the absolute path to the library is the same, sharing the database.fpl file *seems* to be sufficient (I"ve done this across multiple foobar installations in the SAME computer only. Don't know if it works across networks or anything)

thanks for reply..nice

...but I can't figure out how... where can I inform media library to "point" to a specific location
d:\ folder \ subfolder \ database.fpl ?

Sorry I wasn't clear. I meant, in both computers, the "media library" should be located in the same path (eg D:\Music in both computers). Then you can copy the database.fpl file (in foobar2000 directory) from one to the other, and it *should* work.
