I think Serato always stores its library on the corresponding drive. So you 
should be syncing music on drive C with database on drive C, and music on drive 
D with database on drive D...

So, need to check this behavior on Windows and understand where Serato stores 
the library for drives other than "C". If it's all how I understand it, then:
* we need to add a check in the code that will disallow users to perform 
"illegal" syncs involving different drives

Also, need to add a section on wiki describing how it all works with Serato and 
where the data is stored, and give examples of the configs for the following 
cases:
* Windows (drive C)
* Windows (drive D)
* Mac (internal drive)
* Mac (external drive)

If it helps this is what I did to get around it: 

-Originally I placed all my music in D:/Music
-Changed file path and all music files to D:/Users/Rajan/Music 
-Linked the location on C:/Users/Rajan/Music (the default path) to the new 
D:/Users/Rajan/Music path.
-When running this program it reads all files on D:/Users/Rajan/Music, but when 
serato reads it it takes C:/Users/Rajan/Music.
-But since the two folders are linked, it takes the files this time :)

Hope this helped and made sense. If not let me know and I'll break it down some 
more.

Thanks!

files somehow?!
