[5.52] Where is the ML stored?

[ACA]

I have two setups of Winamp.

One has been upgraded for a long time.. it's up to 5.52 (latest).

One installed to D:\Applications\Winamp, D:\Applications\Winamp\Plugins\ml houses the main.idx and main.dat files -- the media library itself. The D drive is a fixed internal drive.

The second (also 5.52) I just installed clean to an external HDD, with intent of being able to take my Winamp media library on the go.

Z:\Applications\Winamp is the directory, but it doesn't contain any ml directory inside Z:\Applications\Winamp\Plugins .. so where is it storing the ML? I need to set it up to store it locally so that I can move the external from computer to computer.

Thanks for your help in advance.

In either Win Explorer or My Computer, type this into the address bar...
%appdata%\Winamp
then press ENTER.
Double-click on the Plugins folder. You will see the ml folder within.

Can I force it to write locally, oldschool style?

Hmmm... Perhaps by editing/deleting the paths.ini file...
