Destination for Rip doesn't obey Windows conventions for "My Music" folder [#17554]

Post by tallhobbit »

The default Destination for Rip is "C:\My Music" which is a different folder than the "My Music" folder used in current versions of windows. This led me to confusion when I just ripped a CD to 'My Music' but then the MP3s were nowhere be found in...my "Music" folder.

Suggest populating that field with the Music folder designated by the logged in user's profile, that can be found via the environment variable %USERPROFILE%\Music or similar API.

When I use a fresh install of build 5.0.0.2310 [unregistered, non-debug version], and do Tools\Rip Audio CD, I see Destination:

Code: Select all

C:\My Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Track #:2> <Artist> - <Title>
