I didn't feel that this is the right list, but since it is music
related I thought I would give it a shot...
As for what is returned, if it works it should be something like "/
Users/usrename/Music", but when it fails it returns "/Music", even if
the users Music folder exists. This appears to happen on machines
that are localized to German or Brazillian.... perhaps others, but
those I have seen.
I don't really want to create the folder in the wrong place, that is
why I have not set the flag to create the folder.
Best regards,
Jim

They'll just steer you towards some [NSFileManager xxx] API
instead. ;-)
Anyway, it should work for all machines so please file a bug if it
doesn't. What folder is being returned?
Also, you are passing the kDontCreateFolder flag -- have you tried
setting it to true on the machines where it's failing?

CoreAudio doesn't really deal with this--the location of the Music
folder
is more in the "user-experience" realm

Hello All,
I have been using the following to locate the "Music" folder to
store
data in.
status = FSFindFolder(kUserDomain, kMusicDocumentsFolderType,
kDontCreateFolder, &docRef);
It works in most cases, however, I have found that it does not work
on some machines. It returns with no error, however the folder
returned is not the users music folder. I would prefer to use a
method like this rather than searching for "~/Music" or something
like this.
What is the best way to locate the "Music folder?
Best regards,
Jim Heintz
