Path of audio files missed on USB Key

[Kreepaul]

Hello

I have a project with show that uses mp3 files

I am used to edit project at home, and save project and audio files in a USB Key, the project in my home PC is D:\ and audio files are in D:\Audio

When I load project in our rehearsal room the USB is no more D:\ but E:\, so the audio files are missed and I have to relink them (or edit the XML)

There is a solution for this annoying trouble?

I use a home computer to set up shows, and a laptop to run them. I typically copy all my files from my C: drive on the home pc to a transport drive, then to the C: drive of the laptop.

If you absolutely want to use a USB drive, and it shows up as E: in your rehearsal room, you can go into Computer Manager on your home pc and change the drive letter of your USB drive to E:. Set up your project that way, and when you plug the USB drive into your rehearsal room, everything should be fine.

Frankly I'd stick with copying everything to the C: drive.

Use relative paths instead of absolute paths in project files to avoid drive letter problems.
Create a symlink or mount point on the computer to make sure the file is found even if the drive letter changes.
Consider using a permanent USB drive for projects and audio files.
Store files on a network or a cloud storage service to avoid drive letter problems.
Find out if your project management software has built-in pipeline management.
Create automated scripts or scripts to automatically link files based on the current drive letter.
