It would be better to transfer your music to a usb-stick ...
Best regards
If I did the FAT32 partition, would I still have SMB functionality?
I assume you are talking about the uSD card.
In principle, creating and using a third partition on the uSD card for music storage is straightforward.
In practice, there are a few gotchas in getting moOde to recognize the presence of the new partition and mount it in the correct place to be picked up by MPD and the Samba server...and to not stomp on it if the File System EXPAND button is clicked on the System Config page. To make the necessary revisions would require knowledge of Linux and of moOde's codebase.
Another gotcha is getting a non-Linux host to read/write to the file system in the third partition, which I assume is the reason you are pursuing this. I don't know about MacOS but Windows 10 even with the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) installed is a P-I-T-A when it comes to multi-partition removable devices.
Candidly, I think you are better off sticking to the stock moOde partitions and finding a third-party app for your Mac or Windows host which can read/write to the second, ext4-formatted, partition. You would store your music in subdirectories under "/mnt/SDCARD", parallel to the existing "Stereo Test" subdirectory.
