Where to place tracks in external card

Question

I have added external 64Gb card to my Sansa Clip Zip that runs RockBox. But where to place tracks? There is no any files and directories there should I place to root?

Answer 1

As per the Rockbox manual, you can place the files anywhere on the file system:

Files may be placed wherever you like on the player, but it is strongly suggested NOT to put them in the /.rockbox folder and instead put them in any other folder, e.g. /, /music or /audio. The default directory structure that is assumed by some parts of Rockbox (album art searching, and missing-tag fallback in some WPSes) uses the parent directory of a song The Rockbox manual (version rUnversioned directory-180727) Ipod Nano Chapter 3. Quick Start 22 as the Album name, and the parent directory of that folder as the Artist name. WPSes may display information incorrectly if your files are not properly tagged, and you have your music organized in a way different than they assume when attempting to guess the Artist and Album names from your filetree. See section C (page 192) for the requirements for Album Art to work properly. See section B.1 (page 186) for a list of supported audio formats.
