3. Create a Folder: Make a new folder  to store your Sound Show project files and all related media.

2. Edit Project Options: Go to the "Project" menu and select "Edit." Enable the relative path option.
3. Verify Paths: Ensure that the sound files are now referenced relative to the location of the Sound Show project file.

2. Copy to USB Key: Copy the entire "Shared project" folder, including the Sound Show program, to your USB key.

2. Open Project: Launch Sound Show from the USB key and open the project from the USB key's directory.
3. Verify Project: Check that the project opens correctly and all media files are accessible.

Bonus: Export Existing Projects

If you have an existing project with media files scattered across your drive:

1. Export Project: Use the "Export" feature in the "Project" menu. This will consolidate all your media files into one folder.
2. Organize by Category: The export function will organize files by category within the folder.
