To make sure your new Favorites tab actually shows up on your MPC hardware without having to stay tethered to the computer, you'll need to "push" those settings to your standalone drive (SD Card or SSD).
How to Sync Favorites to Standalone
Connect your MPC to your computer in Controller Mode.
In the MPC Software, go to File > Export > Expansion... (Note: Even though these aren't "samples," this is the utility that syncs user data).
Alternatively, the more direct way to ensure the UI preferences carry over is to use the Library/Browser sync:
Ensure your SD card is inserted into the MPC.
In the MPC Software, go to the Browser on the right side.
Select the Expansion Desktop (the icon that looks like a chip).
Drag your "User" folders or the updated plugin tags to your SD card listed under the Devices section.
i fear this may be ai slop, there is no 'expansion desktop that looks like a chip' and exporting an expansion also does nothing
