yes and no.
yes (for all w8/ws2012 versions except test ver ) if all necessary files : mqncontrol.exe, mqnloader.exe, mqnplay.exe, paste.exe and mqn.bat are within the same folder, and the mqn.bat is modified with this line "cd c:\musicplayer" disabled by adding a "rem" in front.
the line should look like this : rem cd c:\musicplayer
no (for recent win10 versions) - mqnplay.exe (v36) is still hardcoded to access C:\musicplayer
I used to keep different versions under different sub folders with descriptive names for easy reference and comparison.
BTW, with mqnPlay v36, control/loader v25 and win10 Home (clean install), I thought I was listening to LP12.
this is my mqn_noParam.bat
I had the [for /F "usebackq delims==" %%i IN (`sort Files.txt`) do echo %%~ni ] sections disabled to play files with name in double byte for CJK (Chinese, Japan, Korean), though this should'nt be the cause.

I did try it and it doesnt work
If you also have that folder in C: it does work no matter where is MQN.bat located it plays but musicplayer has to be in C:
If there is any other way please feel free to post it
Maybe Gordon can chip in
Aleg seems like you are right again
Thank you

I need some help. The last MQn version I used successfully was ldn v15. No sound since the device id moved to mqnparam.txt.
The mqnplay versions with hardcoded device id work fine.
The contents of the musicplayer folder is:
The MQn_ is a bat modified to use Foobar, tasker and play flac and mp3. The MQn.bat is the current.
The MQn screen appears
and the mqncontrol screen also opens up and closes after a few seconds.
I use mqndevinfo>>mqnparam.txt to retrieve my dac info.
No sound, no exception...
SDTrans384 with 1X5V and 3x3.3V supplied by A123 batteries, Soekris DAM1021 Rev2 with +-12V and 3.3V supplied by A123 batteries, Salas hotrodded DCB1, LM3875 Gainclone and IPL Acoustics S2TLM transmission line speakers
I use mqndevinfo>>mqnparam.txt to retrieve my dac info.
No sound, no exception...
If you have more than one USB sound device connected, remove them all except the one you want the USB deviceID of.
I had multiple connected and I got the wrong one each time until I removed the rest.
May be I'll try to find out later on, in the work house.
One thing for sure, all my version folders are placed in a separate data SSD. C drive does not hold any version folder or musicplayer. It just serve for OS installation, optimization, again and again.
