A would agree with Andreas, this is a bug. It prevents the software from being truly portable. I'm using v2.0.4 Portable to create my service list and export it, then import it onto the church computer the music will not play. This is because of the absolute path in the song db. Please consider this a high priority.

  I am using the portable app version of openlp.  I have linked many songs
  to audio files(mp3). 

  The problem I have is the sqlite database has 
  given an absolute address for the audio file eg:  F:\PortableApps\OpenLPPortable\Data\songs\audio\205\09-I cannot tell.mp3 .

  However
  when I plug in the USB stick at Church the computer assigns it the 
  drive letter E: so none of the audio works.  Would it be possible on the
  next release to use a relative address eg: songs\audio\205\09-I cannot 
  tell.mp3
