Playbeat really needs an option to relocate the library/choose path on install

Feature Requests

Hi,

Windows here. So when you start importing samples and expansion packs etc, the space requirements add up. I tend to keep most of my sample content on a separate NVme drive, not the system drive. But the installer does not give you an option to choose a custom sample folder.

And unless I’m missing it, Playbeat does not seem to give you the option to re-locate the sample folder path after installation either. Even when the dialogue pops up for samples missing after manually moving stuff to a custom folder location, you’d think there’d be an option to find the new folder at least. But it seems we’re stuck with having the sample folder in Documents/Audiomodern.

Thanks

Hi Atardecer,

I can confirm that we have already added the option to relocate the library and the option to choose a custom sample folder. We’re working on a major update which also includes this feature and hope to have it released soon.

Any news or a workaround for this, sample library in docs folders screws up onedrive. ?

Hi topaz,
All imported samples should be by default in the below locations:

For windows:
C:\Users\YourUser\Documents\Audiomodern\Playbeat 3\Imported Samples

For Mac:
/Users/YourUser/Music/Audiomodern/Playbeat 3/Imported Samples

Can you please share some info about your folder location? Are you storing your samples in the cloud?

Sorry but like many people I do not store samples on my system drive.

Playbeat needs an option to store samples on any drive other than C:

This is already implemented in V4, we will see if we can update the current version as well.
