description |
When using External Drives you have the option of formatting a USB drive. This creates a number of media-specific directories: Pictures, Music, Videos etc. The media scanner finds files regardless of where they're placed so there's no particular reason to use that structure. But that's not obvious: it causes confusion as to whether you have to put files in the appropriate folder.
In general, don't make life more complicated for the user than it needs to be. Just format the drive as empty like any other operating system would do. |
