The solution is of course not to just use "C:", but to check for volume validity / list of valid volumes, and be prepared to the possibility that there is none. Remember that now we can use MPXPLAY on a PC with no hard disk (having some network instead)

When reading out all the metadata (long names & Co) from audio files having such (MP5, OGG Vorbis, ...).
