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.

Thank you
Will try it now
Let you know if it works

It doesn't work
I use win 2102r2
I did modify MQn.bat with your line and still gives an error that cant find c:musicplayer loader and play

Any other ide what I could be doing wrong?
Or maybe you can post whole MQN.bat modified ?
Thank you

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 will copy everything to MQN.bat see if it works
Thanks again

Can someone help with this please?
Thank you

Cannot be done. C:\musicplayer is hardcoded into the programs at the moment AFAIK.

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...

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.
