Is there any way to change the source folder for music, video, etc ?

I have all my music on a seperate drive so it would be nice to be able to remap the music application for future use.

PS3 is cool

I have the same problem. I even tried to install Kawa on the other drive with all my music files!
It would be great if there is some kind of config file to change the data source folders!
:(

I hate to say it, but take a look at Orb (orb.com). I like your app better because I don't have to go out over the internet, but it would be great if I could set a parm that would point to all of my media files. Copying them just doesn't make sense and (while I have not spent a lot of time confirming this) I don't think it works to just put shortcut links in the Media Center folder.

You are correct, streaming does not work using Media Center. I doubt if Orb will either since PS3 has no equivalent to Windows Media Player with streaming ability. Wish it did though.

The architecture of ORB is very different. You basically are running a server on your PC. What you can stream is limited by the players on your machine. No it does not work perfectly, for example it will only play the first song on an album, but it will play an entire playlist.

I don't want to take us off topic or start a flame war; I'm just looking forward to each improvement in the PS3 Media Center.
