AUTO AUDIO BIN FOLDER. I THINK WE'RE ALL TIRED OF OPENING SESSIONS AND FINDING THAT OUR AUDIO IS MISSING!!!
Can we please have an option to have an audio bin folder? I know "collect all and save" is a workaround, but that's a design flaw in my opinion. The first time you save a session, it should automatically collect all and save. I've spent dozens of hours trying to piece back my old sessions, all because of this. Why haven't we added an audio bin, or at least the option to have one in settings? It seems like such a simple thing to add that would save your users thousands of hours.

First, please don't "scream" (the topic's title all in upper case).
Then, with all dur respect it's a typical case of user error. I haven't lost an audio file in 15 years, even though I've changed computers several times during this period. And I never "collect and save" (except when I archive projects).
How? By taking a moment to analyze, understand and memorize how Live deals with files. How is structured the User Library, what you can do with this. Where do recordings go. Where do I store external files etc...
Sure it's not a very funky topic to study, but Live (like any DAW) basically is a (audio and midi) files explorer/reader... so you'd better have good files management routine.
