only working for one user in XP

[andyr00]

hi, quite like poweramp at moment but it only works for myself and not other users,even if that user has admin status and are accessing the same shared folder where music files are stored in a shared folder.
I noticed there was no option as to wether the application was for all users,so other users did not get a desktop icon or anything so i installed again within their account but music folder still appears empty...any ideas?
thanx

The My Music folder is per user, how exactly does dBpowerAMP not work on the 2nd account?

yeah it is but there is also a My Music folder in the Shared Documents folder which we decided to do rather than have individual ones.
We do still have individual My Music folders but generally transfer music files to the one in the Shared Documents folder rather than have loads of duplicates etc...
So when i installed db i directed it to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Music for its music folder contents and this works fine for me,db has collated all the music into its music folder and works fine.
If i log into another user account with or without admin privalages the music folder in db just comes up empty,as if there is no music files available,though they are within the My Music folder and can be opened with other applications with exception of db.
i had to do a seperate install though because db did not put any icons on the desktops of other users not even a mention in program files.
even installing seperately has not solved it,it just wont access the music files in the shared folder unless its when i'm logged on...

If you browse to that folder using explorer the audio files are there? what if you right click on them, get a Convert To? try the 'File Selector' add on to select the files also.
