Summary	0016336: USB drive appears with incorrect drive letter name
Description	Some drives display with the wrong drive letter in MediaMonkey. e.g. 1 Plug in drive --> appears as drive F: in Windows --> appears as drive G: in MediaMonkey > Devices and Services I expect that this is because the drive was previously been plugged in while MediaMonkey was running, and was identified under a different drive letter at that time. Assuming that's the issue, would it make sense to display such drives in Devices and Services using their Labels instead? https://www.screencast.com/t/Ysu4Z6kcd5

I tried to test with the same kind of USB stick and when I renamed "E:\" to "G:\" manually then I see "G:\ (E:)" in MM4 and "G:\" in MM5. Both MM4/MM5 looks strange after the renaming. I guess that solution could be that whenever the name of the profile is just X:\ (where X is a capital letter) then we should always auto-rename it to the current drive letter after connecting. drives.png (12,834 bytes) drives.png (12,834 bytes)
