1. Use Fat32 partition format for compatibility between Linux and Mac including permissions, time stamps etc. Performance is excellent.
2. Standard dir structure is artist/album/tracks
3. Cue formats for example flac/cue are treated as a virtual directory and so the dir structure in #2 where the one track is actually a file containing the whole album + a cue sheet laying out the tracks will cause extra directories to appear in Library Folder view. Tag and Album views will be ok though.
4. Cover art can be embedded in the tracks (mp3, flac and mp4 formats only) or it can be an image file (jpg or png) in the directory containing the tracks. Use the standard file name cover.jpg/png. Try to have nice resolution covers 600x600px or higher. Use the Prefs setting "Library | Thumbnail resolution"
Your best bet for trouble free music enjoyment is to rip the CD's to individual FLAC tracks in an artist/album/track directory structure with either embedded cover or a cover image file in the album dir.
Metadata tags are important. Typically set AlbumArtist = Artist and for compilation albums set AlbumArtist to the string "Various Artists".
The directories /mnt/NAS and /mnt/SDCARD are placeholder root directories. They won't appear in any of the Library views (Folder, Tag, Album) unless they contain music files. moOde ships with /mnt/SDCard/Stereo Test/LRMonoPhase4.flac
