Windows XP Testing Well

I upgraded my Songbird 1.7.3 version and it plays well on Windows XP SP3. My playlists and installed add-ons were kept and are usable in the new version. So far so good.

The only things in life we regret are the risks we didn't take.

prefs.js

I figured out that in file prefs.js under SongbirdPortable\Data\profile\
the path in the lines

user_pref("songbird.library.loader.0.databaseLocation", "Driveletter:\\PortableApps\\SongbirdPortable\\Data\\profile\\db\\main@library.songbirdnest.com.db");

user_pref("songbird.library.loader.1.databaseLocation", "Driveletter:\\PortableApps\\SongbirdPortable\\Data\\profile\\db\\main@library.songbirdnest.com.db");

user_pref("songbird.library.loader.2.databaseLocation", "Driveletter:\\PortableApps\\SongbirdPortable\\Data\\profile\\db\\main@library.songbirdnest.com.db");

user_pref("songbird.library.loader.3.databaseLocation", "Driveletter:\\PortableApps\\SongbirdPortable\\Data\\profile\\db\\main@library.songbirdnest.com.db");

will not be changed after moving to another Drive with different letter.

In my path structure are some more subfolders. I reduce it only not to show up the names of my folders Smile
