Scanning a USB device when I hook one up

Hi,

I work a lot with external USB Drives and Sticks. Whenever I hook one up, Foobar starts up and is investigating the device for music. I can easily shut Foobar down, so it stops. But when I'm listening music on Foobar and do the same, my music stops and that is very annoying.

How can I prevent Foobar from such behavior?


Cheers,

Dennis

Hi there,

What flavor of Windows are you on? This sounds more like a Windows thing than a foobar2000 thing. Perhaps you inadvertently set the Windows AutoPlay dialog that pops-up for removable drives.

I think only thing you can do in foobar is make sure the drive letter is not in the monitored folders? (Library menu > Configure)

Cheers

Hi Anamorphic,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The autoplay settings for removable devices in Windows 10 was indeed to play with Foobar. So it's resolved now!

Cheers Dennis
