library on external SD

[AureusZ]

It should be possible to configure ubuntu one music app cache's path to use the external SD as storage. I'm stuck with 2G of free space on internal SD while I have 30G free on the external card.

Internal SD? I've never heard of that.

The music client does use the SD card to store music, under subsonic/music/ .

In fact some devices have an internal SD card, like the Samsung Galaxy S, and an external slot.

the standard path is /mnt/sdcard/ for the standard SD, internal memory of 8 gb for the SGS, or /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/ for the external memory. (which is a standard mini SD you can add to the device.)

[AureusZ (aureussz)]

to be clearer, the SGS has 8gb of internal memory mounted in /mnt/sdcard, and mounts the additional memory you add to the device as /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/

would it be hard to implement a different target directory as an option for these specific devices?

Seriously this is my biggest wish :)

I've browsed the code but it seems it would require a serious hack to do.

With tablets having internal storage + External SD, the demand might grow.

I know this is more a feature with than a bug.
