Otherwise you can just create an empty .mpdignore ignore file in any directory (other than your music directory for example) and those directories will not be scanned.
I tried both solutions (.mpdignore in the root with the list of the directories to exclude, and different empty ones in each directory to be excluded), but this does not work for me.
The USB HDD is formatted with a NTFS file system, just for my convenience; could this be the reason?
Should I format it with a different file system?
What about ExFAT?
I would avoid ext3 or ext4, if I can: I really like them (and use extensively in other applications), but my Windows computers don't like them at all.
Of course if I need to, I will try that route too.
