It's possible it's just an empty/unformatted/unpartitioned drive.
.....I think that's exactly the problem!
The SSD is new....unformatted (by me!).....
Can this be done in the SSH terminal please??
It can but I tend to use gparted on the rare occasions I format a drive (precisely once per drive typically) so I'd have to google for a tutorial myself.
Gparted.....right!!
I'll look for that....it doesn't appear to be 'leaping out' from the FAQ and Guides section though!!!
Many thanks once again

gparted is not part of moOde - it's a standard linux graphical tool - there's no reason it'd be documented here. moOde does ship with the command line version - parted - so if you want to do it in place that's as good a way of creating partitions and formatting them as any.
I've never used parted but this tutorial looks ok:

You're going to populate this disk with music from some other device though, so it might be easier to do all this on that device and then connect it to your pi. But there are multiple ways to do everything...
